How self-study works
This is a self-study course. You work through it online, on your own schedule. There are no scheduled classes or live sessions to join.
- Go in order. Each module builds on the one before it.
- Practise as you go. Complete the activities and checks in each module before moving on; they show you what to revisit.
- Keep your work. Save your notes, drafts and evidence in your own document so you can reuse them.
- Get help when you need it. Questions about access or your account go to Student Support.
Assessment & certificate
Structured lessons, guided exercises or labs where applicable, review questions, final assessment and applied project/capstone work according to the released course package.
Certificate. Learners who complete the required lessons and exercises, pass the required mastery checkpoints and complete the capstone where applicable can receive an ARQS Course Completion Certificate. ARQS certificates are private professional-development credentials, not government accreditation, professional licensure or externally recognized academic credentials. How ARQS certificates work
