Coursework is submitted to us live, as you complete each page. It is not necessary to "save" before logging off.

You may choose to use the checklist provided to track your progress, and click on the link in the menu to return to where you left off in the training. Or, if you proceed through the course in order, instead of using the checklist, you may keep track of your progress by just making a note of which page you are on (for example: Module 2 Page 5) and use the menu to return to where you left off. 

If you need help, click on the Student Support Chat on the bottom right corner of the page. 

We will be happy to assist you.
