Self-paced courses
Self-paced courses are taught in a 100% asynchronous mode on the Moodle learning platform.
Our courses include modules that can be reviewed at participants’ own pace, so it is the students' responsibility to build their own process. The estimated time to complete each course varies according to the length of its content and the time commitment of each student.
At the end of each module, the content can be downloaded in PDF format for later review.
