To complete the course follow the instructions on screen, clicking on all images, buttons or numbers to see the Continue button. Depending on your computer settings, you may need to scroll down slightly to see the next Continue button. If you do not see the button, then you must have outstanding actions.

Certificates

You must complete all parts of the course for your certificate to be available. Once you have fully completed the course, you will be returned to return to the main screen where you can view, print or save your certificate.
