i want my review to say thank for this a local and available class .proactive people like myself so again thank you!!
It was easier to digest the information in the small doses it was given. As an ADHD adult that was very helpful for me. I also liked that when I got a review question wrong I was given the opportunity to choose until I got it correct. That process helps me remember the actual answer that I clearly needed help with.
I found this training to be informative and thorough.
My experience overall was good. Customer service was very good and made it quick and easy to speak to someone and resolve a IT issue.. As for the course itself all was good except, I wish they offered a PDF to study everything off video time for people with dyslexia, or any other learning challenges people may have. Having something on hand for future reference to refresh our memories can be very beneficial to running a healthy and safe investment for our customers.. Also not sure if this was a iPad thing but I wish there was a rewinding option incase we didn’t understand a part of the video. Other wise super smooth and easy to work will…
Well executed and easy to understand courses. I love that you can go at your own pace and that knowledge checks are provided between segments to keep you engaged and prepared for the exam. Best course I have taken and will be using this platform to train my staff!
