Nikki S.

Fine Course That Served Its Purpose

September 21, 2025

The course itself is fine however the test is where I take issue. A possible answer for one of the questions is, “bacteria __20 minutes__ can multiple every day.” This not grammatically correct and is confusing. At least two questions/answers had horrible wording and should certainly be reviewed. Afterall, we’re paying for an accredited course, grammar shouldn’t be an obstacle.

Convenient and pertinent information

June 9, 2025

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.
