How to use it
Work through modules 1–16, completing the learning quizzes and reflection tasks in each. To keep your knowledge sharp, use the quiz section at the top to test yourself, and follow the revision plan built around the time you can manage each day and how long until your interview. When you’re done, print off your certificate. Don’t try to cram a whole module a day — that’s too much; steady, spaced practice is what makes it stick.
