At the very back of each book is a checklist of information that you should understand before moving on to the next book. And the COMPLETION page, stating that you learned all of the info on the checklist. Upon completing each level/book you instructor will notify the office and we will send you a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION and the book for the NEXT LEVEL.
