Excellent Organization; Auto-Log-Out doesn't interfere with progress.

August 26, 2025

My internet connection is solid, the server connection seems poor. Took about eight (8) hours to complete video training due to load times between segments.

That said, painless and user-friendly layout, super helpful for navigation through Modules. I will be returning one my certificate expires for renewal.
