SL-Institute offers two types of course.
1. Online courses built on the smart learning platform. They include lessons, modules, quizzes, audios and videos. This content is available 24/7 on the platform.
To complete a course, you must follow all the chapters and pass all the exercises, which include quizzes and activities. If you don't, your progress bar won't show that you've completed the course and, for those eligible, you won't be able to access the certificate. Use the progress bar to check the status of each quiz and activity to ensure that they have been completed. If you have checked all the exercises and your progress remains incomplete, there may be a technical problem. Please contact us by clicking on "Contact us" and indicate in your request the name of the course, add a link to the course, include a screenshot, the name of your browser and the name of your operating system, etc. Our technical team will investigate the problem. Our technical team will investigate the problem.
2. Electronic books (e-books) are available as digital downloads.
These courses introduce the different concepts and allow you to learn on your device, at your own pace. You don't need to log on to the platform every time you want to work through the courses. Some exercises are available on the eBooks for you to practice.
- Check the plug-ins installed on your browsers, such as AdBlock, which can block images and videos.
- Change your browser or deactivate certain plug-ins; you should be able to watch our videos without worry.
If you're still unable to access the site, it may also be due to a security system set up on your network, particularly in a professional environment, with a restrictive firewall.
- If you're not on a home network, ask the administrator if they can change your access authorizations.
- If you're on a home network, add www.sl-institute.com as an authorized site to see if this solves the problem.
SL-Institute checks the work done and takes a few days to send the certificate by e-mail in PDF format.
