Each module takes around 60 minutes to complete. Each module results in a badge. Five badges result in a complete course certificate. The badges and certificates are recognized by New Mexico Highlands University (NMHU) and schools throughout New Mexico. These credentials can be used for resume building, skills development, and online learning opportunities. The modules are mostly in English, but contain many Spanish resources and options. Module assignments can be completed in English or Spanish.
