Course Content with Prerequisites

Course Content with Prerequisites

Certain courses necessitate that you possess a specific set of skills or knowledge before enrollment. Often, details about these prerequisites can be found on the course's information page.

Besides these general prerequisites, some courses also mandate that students either complete a particular preliminary course.

If a course has a prerequisite, you can find the details under the Requirements tab. Clicking Learn More in this tab will direct you to the prerequisite course page, where you can also register.

You can still sign up for the course even if you haven't completed the prerequisite. Once you enroll, the course will show up on your Dashboard, but you won't be able to access its content. Clicking the link will take you to the About page of the prerequisite course, where you can enroll.

Once you finish the prerequisite course successfully, the main course will become accessible on your dashboard, and you'll be able to view and engage with its materials.
