Course contents

How and when to access the course

All our courses are designed with flexibility in mind. You can access them for free at any time, just click on the "Enter Course" button.

It is up to you how you use the course; you can either study the full course or you can focus on sections that are relevant to you. To jump between sections, use the navigation bar on the left or the arrows at the bottom of the page. You can also choose whether to complete the course in one go, or over several visits.

The average time to read through the main body of the course is 3 hours (not including exercises and external links). The time may vary depending on your prior knowledge and how you choose to work through the course.

Sign up to track your learning and more

You can track your progress and keep a record of any completed learning by creating an account. This will give you a 'My learning' page, which will have three main tabs to help keep track of your progress:

Favourite: To add online tutorials to your Favourite tab, you can 'Mark as Favourite' on the front page of online tutorials, allowing you to return and complete them in the future.

In progress: The courses which you have started reading will be added to your 'In progress' tab. Use the 'Mark as complete' button at the end of the course pages to get started.Your ‘In progress’ tab gets updated as you progress through the course and will show you what percentage of the course you have finished and will let you resume the course from where you left on your last visit.

Completed: The courses which you have finished entirely will be added to the 'Completed' tab.

The results you gain from completing quizzes and other interactive content will also be added to your My learning page.

You can register anytime here or click a 'Favourite' or 'Mark as complete' button to start tracking your progress.

You can still access all the online tutorials and interactive content if you do not register, but you will not be able to track your progress.

Making the most of the course
