Sometimes the audio would cut out. Sometimes completion of the module would be noted till I watched 2 or 3 times.
great explanation
very informative and to the point. Easy to understand and not boring.
Ok
It was helpful, but I would miss some information, so I went back over the video. I still miss the information, but it was still helpful, and I got some questions right.
Great
It was a lot of common sense.
Test was very understandable and knowledgeable.
Muy educativo
enjoyed seminar
It was quick and simple. I didn’t like that when I’d click next module and go back I’d have to completely restart whatever video I was on and not just resume. Or that I couldn’t just go back in the videos if I missed something. It was a bit slow sometimes but other than that everything was good.

I think this course works. I’m actually not sure because I’m writing this before I take the exam. I don’t really understand the steps I need to take to send in my application, I assumed the company would have done that.
Bite-size modules and reviews reinforce learning and make it easier for the learner to retain the information presented. Great
Liked going at my own pace, liked the mini quizzes here and there. Videos were easy to follow and informative.

Perfect course, easy to comprehend.
The site was user-friendly and easy to navigate.
It took a lot longer than 2 hours but, in the end, it was very thorough, and I feel confident in taking the exam immediately!
