Each subject is broken into a sequence of self-paced lesson topics. Work through them in order — you mark a topic complete before the next one unlocks, so nothing is skipped.
No sit-down exams
There are no invigilated exams on this platform. Once you've completed a subject's lessons, you answer a set of multiple-choice questions online. Pass, and your Certificate of Knowledge for that subject is generated automatically — instantly, with no manual processing.
