Informative and thorough

I found this training to be informative and thorough.

Overall good

August 5, 2025

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…
