I would recommend taking the time to go through the HTML Basics to get to know it first, in my opinion it's a pre-requisite for CSS Basics.

If you are sure about understanding html move to css. So here is my advice, Open your browser developer tool and check the html source of this page. If there is anything that you are not familiar with it, go to html course if you understood everything just move css course :)

Technically you can skip ahead as much as you would like, but understanding some of the features of HTML elements will greatly help you in working with CSS. It's really up to you if you feel comfortable jumping ahead or not.

Hey! If I was you, I would take a quick overview of the whole course to ensure and verify your knowledge for HTML Basics. Like others have said, if you think you're ready for CSS, go ahead.
