WHAT TO EXPECT

The course is divided into modules and topics. Each module includes self-paced topics, videos, and quizzes. The instruction proceeds in sequential order with each module building upon the one prior.

The modules and topics have ‘next’ and ‘previous’ buttons at the bottom. In order to advance, you will need to go to click ‘next,’ or ‘mark complete’ in order to move forward.

Throughout the course, there are links to reach us, should you need any help along the way.

At the end of the course, if you have purchased the certification, you will be instructed on the next steps.

You can begin the course from the module content box, by selecting the circle next to the first module. That will take you into the course.

We’d love to hear from you about your experiences, either during the course or afterward. We will get your feedback at info@internationalservicedesigninstitute.com.
