Excitingly (obviously this is the best part ), there are now also 8 shiny new badges to earn:
Where do I sign up?

realised I completed one of the courses back in 2017 haha
Might do them again though once I finish sign language level 2!
Hahah oops! Once you get into the flow of how they work it should be easier, but there's probably a way we could make the navigation a bit more obvious. If it helps, every course uses a similar back/forward arrow/button type system to move around.

I'm not sure if these are just happening for me but thought I'd flag it up
Which courses were you having issues with the sliders? Have you tried the money course? Quite heavy slider usage in that one
