The course consists of four modules and a final exam. Each module is locked until the previous module is completed, and the final exam is not unlocked until all four modules are completed.

You will also receive a verifiable digital badge of completion to share with your network, employers, and customers. To begin the first module, click on the course, and click the View Course button on the right side of the module. The course will open in a new window, so ensure that your pop-up blocker does not prevent it from opening. When you begin the course, the menu list will appear on the top left, which will allow you to access any slide that you have already completed. The next button is on the bottom right, which allows you to move to the next slide. However, it may not appear unless you have completed all the interactions on the current slide.
