I liked the way the class was set up into small sections as not to overwhelm the reader. It was direct and to the point and easy to follow.

December 30, 2022

The course was great and I would recommend it to my friends. The only thing I’d like to change is the lack of ability to go back 10 seconds during the lesson. If I missed something and wanted to hear it again, I had to restart that section which was bothersome.

unnecessary for renewal

May 23, 2025

If we have already received this certificate in the past, we shouldn’t have to take the training course again. Renewals should be allowed to just take the test. Big waste of time. Feels like a money grab.
