Side panels of the platform
The left side of the page

Before proceeding directly to the training topics, you will be presented with four information pages on the platform.:
Course Description / Schedule / Anti-terror / Announcements
On the Course "Description page" you will find basic information: the purpose and structure of the course, a list of topics, information about the teacher, and other useful details.
The "Schedule" section duplicates the class schedule that you have already received by email — this is done for your convenience, so that everything is at hand.

By opening it, you can:

• Quickly switch between topics and course blocks;

• Keep track of which materials haven't been opened yet.

Next to it is the "Bread crumbs" button — it opens the upper panel of the course structure, where your current position is displayed: which topic and block are being studied at the moment.
