Do I need a computer or coding skills?

Neither. A smartphone and a data bundle are enough - every workflow we teach is mobile-first. No coding is required anywhere in the course.

How much time per week?

About three hours: six to eleven lessons of 2-3 minutes each, their short tasks, and the module assessment at the end of the week.

What if I fail an assessment?

You get two recorded attempts per module, with full explanations after each submit. Re-watch the lesson videos and try again - the pass mark is 70%.

How is the final mark calculated?

Module 1 quiz 20% + Module 2 quiz 20% + Module 3 quiz 20% + Week 4 Portfolio of Evidence 40% = 100%. Certification requires 70%+ in each quiz and a submitted PoE.

Is the certificate recognised?
