A blended-learning course with a volume of about 100 hours as well as a final examination and certification
Accessible virtual learning environment
SCORM compatible WBT/CBT and tutorials with explanatory texts and graphical elements, questions and test features
A multimedia CD with all WBT/CBT and learning materials.
