The AI voice was a bit distracting at first but then I got used to it. The lessons were short and to the point and incorporated several learning styles – visual, auditory and written. One criticism is that you can pause the lesson but rewinding takes you back to the very beginning, so I couldn’t repeat something I missed without having to listen to the whole lesson again.
Great training!
Proof that common sense is not so common. Painful till the very last second.
It was quick very straightforward and the exam was cake!

loved this course
Course is great. Slow, with the need to advance pages often, but it keeps you engaged so you don’t get distracted. I wish it were easy to go back and review. It seems you can only start at the beginning and go through the class again. That would be a nice feature to upgrade once you have completed the entire course.
