Your courses can be completed entirely at your own pace. You can take as much time as you like and can always revisit content if you need a refresher.
How do I save my progress in a course?
Your progress in a course is automatically saved by our learning management system. As long as you login with the same account you will be able to see the green progress checkmarks that signify units you have completed. There's also a handy Resume Course button in the top right hand corner of the course outline view.
What do I do once I finish all of the courses? Will there be more courses in the future?
We will continue to create more courses and make them available to you as they are published. Got a great idea for a course? Let us know at [email protected]
What do I do if I come across a word or an abbreviation that I don’t understand?
We’ve put together a document to help you become familiar with the definitions of common words and abbreviations that we use in the courses. Inside of each course there is a support page titled ‘Glossary’ that is available for you to access, download and print.
You can access the ‘Glossary' from the top horizontal menu during any course:
If a word you’re unfamiliar with isn’t in the glossary, please reach out to us through the chat widget in the bottom right hand corner of your course.
