Class was well completed. I would have given 5 star rating if you could go back and re-watch parts of video in case I was too late to pause but had to wait till entire video was complete to go back. Also – there was a pause between each video that was longer than other courses I have taken. Overall – good course and information was provided.
This was a great training course hopefully the test goes well!
This was a wonderful course. It never felt overwhelming or dull. The flow of the process was wonderful as well. The slides helped me stay focused as a visual learner.
Okay
It was very informative and learned a lot I didn’t know.
The course is great and informative and the exam touches bases with what you just learned. Not at all time consuming as well.
