Great training

October 7, 2025

The information was beneficial, and the training was painless. I would like to see more interaction (exercises), and I did not like that if I wanted to go back a few seconds on the video, I had to watch the whole video over, when I just wanted to listen to the previous 15 seconds, for example. Perhaps you could add a fast-forward and rewind button.

Overall it was easy and informative! I will note that the audio didn’t work on most of the modules, so I had to keep resetting the close-captioning.
