To Complete an Academy

Your academy page displays your progress percentage for each section.

1. Scroll down to explore each section's content.
2. Complete the required assignments. To submit Projects, follow the instructions and click Submit.
3. After you complete content, click Mark as Complete. Content items with verified completions do not have a Mark as Complete button.

For more information, see Verified Completions.
