Course Modules

The tool will consist of 24 course modules. Each small course module will consist of approximately 20 training sessions. Each session will have a session title and will contain a list of instructional objectives. Each course module will be preceded by a pre-quiz consisting of 25 questions, and will end with a final exam consisting of 100 questions.
