How the training programme works

1. Apply for an account

Training accounts are free. Applications are reviewed by hand by the editorial board, usually within a few working days.

2. Work through the steps

Each course is a sequence of video and written steps. A step unlocks when you mark the one before it complete, so nothing is skipped by accident.

3. Earn a certificate

Finish every step and a certificate is issued to your dashboard, with a verification link anyone can check.
