Good Easy Program

April 6, 2021

I like this program because it was pretty short and I completed it in less than 24 hours. I took notes on every video, and I advise anyone who takes this class to do that as well. My notes were a huge study help. The videos really get to the point and I do feel like I learned an adequate amount for this course. My only downside is that it is about 4 dollars extra for the San Diego course, but honestly it was money well spent. The test is not too difficult but gives a good assessment. I would definitely use this course again and I for sure recommend!
