Layout: cover the teaching material by reading through 3 main lessons, pass a quiz after each lesson and unlock the Course Completion Certificate. The course is linear, so the students must finish each lesson to gain access to the next.
Recommendations: for technical reasons we recommend participants to register their names without special characters and to take the course on a PC with a comfortable large screen, especially when taking the quizzes, and with an up-to-date internet browser. If the name on the certificate is misaligned or special characters are missing, the user can re-edit it in the “My account” page and regenerate the certificate.
