How levels work

  • Each level has a few short lessons. A lesson counts as done once you get at least 50% of its quiz right.
  • The next level opens when every lesson of the level before it is done.
  • Already know the topics? A placement quiz can open a level straight away. It never locks anything.

Educational only; not a professional qualification. A level opened with a placement quiz gets its certificate once its own lessons are done.
