Finding the lessons

I have a hard time finding the lessons I want to do at ChessMentor. I wanted to do Level 1-10 of Chess Mentor as it is shown here: http://www.chessmentor.com/lessons.html

But to me it seems like it is the sequence is kind of random of the differens lessons here at the website. Is there an easy way to find lesson 1-10 and can I start over from the beginning? I did some lessons long time ago, and now I wanted to reset it and start over. Is that possible?

It's much easier to pick and choose the lessons you want at:

Click "View courses" or "View lessons". Don't just hit "Start Training".

Well, maybe my question isn't that clear. I do know where to find the chessmentor lessons. What I'm asking for is an overview or the sequence of doing the lessons. I want to do it from lesson 1-10, but as I see it, the lessons aren't numbered, and they are just randomly put into different categories, so it's hard to find the lessons I want to do, and the order in which to do them.

The link you gave is to the original CM before chess.com purchased it.  Although the interface has been modernized and close to half the content is new, you can still find the same sequential/adaptive choice as in the original.  Most of us just choose courses we want to do.  You can also choose to start over although it's not a step to be taken lightly as you lose your progress.  I did it once when I tried reviewing some courses and was no better than the first time. Embarassed 

Anyway the sequential choice just gives you the courses pretty much in the order they were written.  There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason beyond that.  The adaptive tries to send you a variety of lessons tailored to your needs.  It just seemed to jump around and find really hard lessons,  cool, but frustrating. These three courses are from page 4 of the CM courses, but each was a seperate level in your link.  So yes, those courses are all still available.  OOPS.  I see "Start me at the Beginning" is missing.

I see. I switched back to the old design of chess.com. I realize that the new design was what tricked me. Hopefulle they will fix that.

Thanks for the help.
