Dear Subscriber,
Can you believe it’s already been a full month? Now that you’re fully vested, we want to make sure you’ve begun the Essential Investing (EI) Course — if you haven’t, follow the steps below. For those who have, we walk through some course highlights and some tips and tricks for the best learning experience.
Haven’t started your EI Course yet? No problem! We walk you through how to take advantage of your purchase, whether you want to take the course in the Structured or FlexiLearn format. Both versions are accessible through the same four-step process. Here’s a quick reminder of how to get started:
