Downloading full units

Learn about how to download full units and read our FAQs

It's now easier than ever to download what you need and save time with the introduction of our new feature to download whole units.

This means downloading every slide deck, worksheet, quiz and any additional material for a whole unit rather than going into each lesson individually!

Please note this only applies to our new resources.

You can recognise these new lessons by our new logo:

Our new units and lessons will also have a 'New' label beside them.

FAQs

What happens if I want to download again?

You won't be logged out automatically but if you are logged out simply follow the steps above (you won't have to answer the questions about using our resources again) to get a verification link by email and unlock your download button again.

Why can't I verify my email address?

You may get an error message when you try and verify your email address. This is usually because you are using a different device and/or browser to verify your email address than the one you start the download journey on.
