How it works

Each lesson starts with a short video. Tolu, your guide, shows you what to do and says it in plain words. You practise on a real-looking computer, with Tolu guiding each step.

You work on a practice computer inside the course, so you cannot break anything. More than 75% of your time is hands-on practice, not watching.

Every lesson is split into steps, and a row of step bars shows where you are. If a step is too hard, press Skip and come back to it later.
