About the course
TES Basic Certification
If you want to know the fundamentals of TES, the Transfer Evaluation System, you’re in the right place. TES Basic Certification is all about learning how to use TES. In particular, it exposes users to all of the basic features within TES in a hands-on learning environment, so that you will be able to see and understand what they do. This will be of great value when advocating to expand the use of TES on your campus to take full advantage of its available features. This course will improve your efficiency and provide a greater return on your investment in the transfer tool.
