Website a little glitchy on my older Mac laptop

August 1, 2025

I’ve done quite a few re-cert’s in another state over the years and I like when I’m shown my percentage on my exam and can review any questions I answered incorrectly.

It could have to do with my older system but the test kinda’ wasted some of my time by being glitchy and slow to load next page.

The content of the course and exam seem pretty good for a basic handlers course.

Short can concise.

August 1, 2025

Can’t say it was fun, but for being a necessary thing, it wasn’t too bad. However, I wish it would say how many modules there are from the beginning so that I could know what to expect. Otherwise, not horrible.
