Questions teachers ask
Do students need Microsoft Office installed?
Not for Weeks 1–2. Those days are hardware, Windows and files in the browser. Word and Excel labs come in later weeks.
Do they need an account?
No. Progress is saved in this browser only.
Is this the full 12-week certificate?
The certificate is 12 weeks / 180 hours. This slice opens Weeks 1–2 (ten teaching days). Weeks 3–12 show as coming next.
