How To Sign Up For The Open Africa Route Toolkit (205)
This Guide helps you through the short process of signing up to the Open Africa Route Toolkit. The Toolkit is an online resource filled with useful information that will help you and the other members of your route to achieve good results with the growth and success of your route.
The sign-up process is simple, so you should have access to the Toolkit within minutes of signing up.
Who may sign up for the Route Toolkit?
The Open Africa Route Toolkit is available for free to all active members of Open Africa routes. You will need to meet the obligations specified of your route to qualify, and if your membership lapses, you will no longer have access to the Toolkit.
Typically, it will be new route members who sign up, which makes it easy to include the sign-up process as part of the induction of new route members.
What computer or mobile device do I need?
You can sign up to and use the Open Africa Route Toolkit with any computer, tablet or mobile phone with internet access. All the currently available browsers will work well, and you should be able to get along with even the slowest of internet connections.
Please note that you will need an active internet connection for using the Toolkit. However, the Toolkit will not use much data, since the site is built to be quick and easy to use on your mobile device.
Signing up and using the Toolkit from a computer may be your preferred option, since it will allow for printing of pages, but the content also displays perfectly on a mobile phone, as long as it has internet browser capabilities.
How to sign up for the Route Toolkit
Follow these steps below:
1. Look for the Invitation Code sent to you as part of your membership information. If you do not have an Invitation Code, ask your Route Forum member responsible for membership to provide you with the code. The code lapses frequently, so if you took a long time to sign up, it may be that the code is no longer active. Ask your Route Forum member responsible for membership to issue you with a new Invitation Code if you suspect that it lapsed.
2. Open your internet browser and enter this website address: www.RouteToolkit.co.za
3. The normal sign-in window will appear which you’ll use to sign into the site in the future. If you already signed-up before, you should just enter your username and password and you’ll have access to the toolkit.
4. Below the sign-in fields, you will see the word ‘Register’. Click on this to register as a first time user.
5. A form will appear. Fill in your name, e-mail and other details. Use the Invitation Code in the Invitation Code field.
6. Click the tick box to confirm that you agree to the terms and conditions, then click on the Register button to complete the process.
7. Save your User Name and Password for future use.
8. You now have full access to the Open Africa Route Toolkit.
