The course starts and finishes when you want! It is a completely self-paced online course with approximately 4-hours of viewing videos and answering questions.
After enrolling, you can review the videos as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
The number shown after each question e.g. (5:35) tells you approximately where in the associated discussion the answer starts to be discussed. 5:35 means at the 5 minute 35 second point. This means if you come to a question and are unsure of the correct answer, you have a point to go to for “help.”
All of them! If you select the wrong answer the system locks in that wrong answer until you get to the end of that unit's questions. You then have an option to retake the quiz. To get a certificate, you must answer ALL questions correctly.
Once you have completed all 5 units and correctly answered all the questions (57 in total across the 5 units) please email [email protected] and advise her. We will forward you your certificate once we verify full and correct completion of all questions.
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 30 days from enrolling, tell us why you are unhappy and we will give you a full refund.
