You can return to any part of the course that you have already completed. Lets look at one of the chapters, for example the APU.

Click on the APU button to see how it is further broken down.

Each system or chapter is usually split into five main modules. As you can see for the APU, you have : - System Presentation - Normal Operation - Abnormal Operation - Summary - Quiz. Click on the System Presentation button to continue.

To enter this module, you can either click again on the same button, or on the ADVANCE button at the bottom right corner of the screen. Do it now.

Click on the forward arrow to go directly to the end of the quiz.

Notice that EXIT has replaced NEXT. That means you have completed the APU chapter. Click on the EXIT button.

You are back to the general course plan. The black check marks mean that all the APU modules have been completed. Click on the forward arrow to continue

Suppose you have not completely seen one of the modules, for example the abnormal operation, a half-white check mark on the associated module and the chapter will indicate this situation.

But as we have done them together, the check marks are all black. This now completes the CBT Introduction module. You are ready to enter the real course.

Good luck, and have fun !!!
