Using the materials

You can study the materials in any order you wish. They are meant for either self-study or as a part of training organised by an educational institution – in the latter case the instructors should offer additional materials regarding the guidelines of the specific educational institution.

There are no exams, tasks, or checkpoints, and no badges are automatically awarded. An individual educational institution may of course choose to award badges.

Although all sections are connected, you can focus on the materials, which you feel are the most useful to you.
