How the course works
Start the course and it moves into your plan. Lessons open in order, and your progress is saved as you complete each one, so you can stop and come back at any time.
When you have finished the lessons, take the quiz. It has 4 questions, and you pass with 3 or more correct answers; passing completes the course and adds a certificate to your record. If you don’t pass, review the lessons and try again.
