The courses are the ones with the computer screens next to them. Disregard the green dot next to course name, those are courses I have completed.
My Advice
I highly recommend you complete the Microsoft courses on Skillport. They tend to be the easiest and most people have some knowledge of Miscrosoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel. If you do not have any Civilian Education promotion points, you may want to do the Skillport courses that have ACE college credit recomendations. By doing them, you get your Military Education promotion points and you can also use them for Civilian Education promotion points.
