The course contains around 2-hours of videos, numerous short written lessons, exercises and quizzes. Although we estimate the course will on average take people between 6 and 8 hours to complete, it is self-paced, allowing students to work at their own pace. We encourage you to take the time necessary to properly digest and understand the material.
There are no attachments; rather the course presents notes in a form suitable for screenshots. We encourage you to take screen-shots of any notes that particularly interest you. Hyperlinks to external resources are included both in the relevant lesson, as well as collated together in the Resources section at the end.
We suggest you make a copy of this Resources section in a way that preserves hyperlinks. You can do this by selecting the text on that page and copying it into any text-editing application. Links embedded in the text will usually be copied with the text.
After you complete the course (including passing all quizzes) you will be able to download a certificate.
