Training is buggy

October 4, 2025

This training is a requirement but it was so damn glitchy that I almost had a meltdown. I ended up having to rewatch/listen to almost every single segment because it wouldn’t allow me to continue 90% of the sections even though I’d watch it all the way through. I had to watch multiple segments 3 or even 4 times before the dang thing would let me proceed! It was the most frustrating certificate class I’ve ever had to partake in.
