Tips
Provide Details.
Please be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Don't worry about formatting! We'll take care of it. For example:
Don't say: Eat more fats.
Do say: Add fats with some nutritional value to the foods you already eat. Try olive oil, butter, avocado, and mayonnaise.

Tips

  • Verified Certificates require ID Identification and cost money, but they can be useful if want solid proof that you alone did the work. For personal satisfaction, a free Statement of Accomplishment is fine.
  • While it's great to be enthusiastic about learning, do not register for too many courses, as it can add up much faster than you think.
