Please note that, if a course displays the "Express your Interest" button, it means that the course is currently unavailable, and we are keep gathering expressions of interest for us to be able to provide a new edition in the near future. In those cases, we suggest to keep an eye open on our website and sign up for our Newsletter to receive notifications about upcoming enrollment phases and other useful information.

Please follow these few steps to access any course you are already enrolled into:

1. Log in into the platform. You will be automatically directed to your profile page.
2. Click on the "My Profile" button: You can find it in the very first section of the page, close to your name. Once there, you will be able to see all the courses you are enrolled into under "Courses".

4. Click on the "Continue" button: You can find it below the course description; click it to access the course player and start your learning journey.

Remember: you need to log in to your account with the username and password you have created when registering into this platform. You can also use your social accounts (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, Google account) to register, so please make sure you enter with the correct account. otherwise access will be denied.

To successfully navigate the courses, ensure you complete all materials in the current section, as each build on the previous one. Once you are confident with the content, access the next section through the specific course menu. If you find any concepts challenging, revisit the prior section to reinforce your understanding before advancing.

This strategy will enhance your learning experience and prepare you for upcoming topics. Most of the sections of this course work as a pre-requisite, hence you cannot advance if you do not finalize the activities requested (e.g. watch videos, complete exams, etc.).

Every course we offer is thoughtfully designed to deliver high-quality, accessible knowledge to anyone, anywhere, completely free of charge. The same goes for our certifications: they are always free, as we believe that learning should be a right, not a privilege.

To download the certificate of completion for any of our course, you have to pass all the quizzes, final exam (when included) and the post-assessment survey. Under each course FAQs section, you will find specific passing requirements (e.g., minimum passing grade and number of attempts). After completion, you will be able to download your Certificate. Please remember to download it before the closing time of the course, as it cannot be retrieved later in the process.
