Notes

  • The training videos can be filtered by Beginner and Intermediate skill levels.
  • As you browse help courses, you can queue them up so the course can be watched later. You can even create a playlist to mix and match the courses you'd like to watch.
  • As you browse and watch course lessons, you can bookmark lessons that are important or need to be (re)viewed later.
  • When you complete a course, you will be issued a Certificate of Completion. This is done after you have watched the entire set of videos for a course.
