This dynamic and flexible course is designed for both beginners and experienced review authors, and is broken down into over 100 small learning units that build on the knowledge one step at a time. Complete with interactive activities and quizzes, each module also finishes with an assessment to demonstrate skills and download a certificate of completion.
