What you need
- No prior course needed
- A phone, tablet or computer
- About two hours in total
- Each of the five courses stands alone
Questions
-
About two hours in total — eight modules of roughly fifteen minutes. You can do it in one sitting or spread it across a week. Your place is saved either way.
-
No. There is no prerequisite course and no software to install. A phone, tablet or computer with an internet connection is enough.
-
Yes. This course is placed at Bachelor's Degree for India, and the content is written for that level. If you are at a different stage, change your level at the top of the page and the courses will change with it.
-
A certificate for the course, carrying an ID that your college or an employer can check on our verification page. You keep access to the material afterwards.
-
Yes — ₹450 for this course on its own, or ₹1,450 for all five in this set, which works out cheaper if you want more than one.
-
There is a short quiz at the end of each module so you can check what stuck. It is not timed and you can retake it.
