What is a Course?
- A course is a group of one or more skills
- Courses contain conceptual and practical skills that learners can apply to on-the-job situations or IT certification exams
- Courses you are in the process of completing or have completed appear in your Enrollments from your dashboard
- You will earn a Certificate of Completion for each course you complete, Certificates of Completion can be found on the corresponding Course Page where they can be downloaded
What is a Skill?
- A skill is a particular learning objective that is part of a larger course
- A skill may be practical (e.g., something you can do) or it may be conceptual (e.g., something you know)
- A typical skill will contain between 5 to 7 videos and can be completed in around an hour
- A skill may be reused in multiple courses; when you complete a skill in one course, your progress will be reflected in other courses where that skill appears
- Completion of a skill will not generate a certificate of completion
- Skills can be added to your Favorites by clicking the heart icon on the Skill page, allowing you to quickly review a specific concept as needed in the future
