All courses are delivered through Modules which in turn contain smaller Sub-units. There is no set number of Modules per course or set number of Units per Module. Level 1-3 Courses will generally contain 4-8 Modules. Higher levels may contain less Modules. A level 5 course may focus on a very specific topic and may contain only 1 - 2 Modules.
