the professional learning in one sitting.
00:03:37.880 --> 00:03:43.319
If you’re partway through it, and you return
to it on the same device, a message will appear
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:48.350
on your screen that asks if you would like
to resume from where you left off.
00:03:48.350 --> 00:03:52.980
Click 'Yes' and you’ll be taken to the last
screen that you viewed.
00:03:52.980 --> 00:03:57.400

be asked to complete a quiz to demonstrate
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:01.200
your understanding of the content covered
in this course.
00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:06.060

questions correctly, however there is no limit
00:04:06.060 --> 00:04:09.540
to the number of times you can attempt the
