About the Course
This course is an open course. All modules are activity-based, which means that you have to develop different tasks using diverse materials to finish the module successfully. At the beginning of each module, you will be given the time needed to complete the module. We hope this helps you to organise your HMIS learning!
Participants need to do ALL the activities to complete each module. All modules are self-learning, which means that you can do the activities by yourself, without the support of a teacher. However, you will find open communication channels to be used in case you have doubts about doing the activities, and also for you to share your thoughts or ideas about the course.
Evaluation
If you manage to finish the course successfully you will receive a certificate that recognises that you have achieved the goals and acquired the knowledge of the module.
