Where can I find the prerequisites for courses?

The first video in a course often mentions that you should be sure to complete all of the prerequisites before taking the course. However, I can't seem to find where courses list the prerequisites.

Prerequisites are usually listed on the course page just before the course content IF you haven't taken the courses yet. If you've taken them already they won't appear there. There is usually a list of the prerequisite courses in the teacher's notes of the first video or two as well (below the video on the page).

Thanks, Seth. The fact that they won't appear if you have already completed them is the issue.

When you click on a course for example:

JavaScript Loops, Arrays and Objects

It tells you in part of the description the following info:

For best results, we recommend first taking these prerequisite courses... Course JavaScript Basics

As you can see it also gives you the link to the course you should take before the one you currently have selected.
