Courses are divided into clear, topic-focused videos for easy navigation through the material. Each five-minute video lesson builds on the prior video; each course typically includes seven videos.

The program includes a quiz after each video lessonโa pre-requisite to advance to the next lessonโand a digital certificate of completion.
