FAQS
The course is 100% online and self-paced. You’ll work through the modules in chronological order and be invited to take part in activities. At the end of each module, you’ll be presented with exam questions and, if you pass all these, you’ll become certified!
The course content, activities, and exams will take approximately 6 hours to complete.
If you fail the first time around you'll be given the option to retake the exam. If you fail the second attempt, unfortunately, it means you won’t get the certificate. However, all’s not lost – you’ll have still learned lots and you’ll be given access to the course materials for life, so you can brush up on the bits you slipped up on forevermore.
