The training course in detail
Users can choose to work on the competence they prefer to develop, either in line with their field of study, the skills they need in their job, or their personal preferences.
Pix questions are practical and challenging exercises that invite participants to find the answer using the Internet and the tools at their disposal and stimulate their desire to learn.
