A multi-lesson course is our most popular course type for organizations, because it has so much flexibility and can be an all-in-one course for your training needs. With multiple lessons, you can cover an entire course, start to finish, using content like videos, quizzes, labeled images and more. You can also provide a final exam and certificates with this course.
