Interesting
Thorough and concise
thank you
Very straight forward and not a lot of fluff.
good
Straightforward. Tells you everything you need to know. I wish the loading between modules was faster. It took about 1.5 hours. Exam is 40 questions and not difficult.
It was good and very helpful
I had a great experience. The quality was better than i expected, and everything went good from start to finish
I like the fact that I could work at my own pace. I have been very preoccupied with life that I could not finish my modules. However, I was able to log on when peace came into my existence. I was able to pass my class because I did it when I was ready. Thank You This is just the beginning.
Learned alot that I thought I already knew
Course was easy to follow and clear in instruction.
i learned alot
It wasn’t even 10 dollars, so it was pretty easy to afford, and it took me about an hour and a half to finish.
Problems with hovering using cell phone. Sometimes it would make me start over when I already completed it. It took about 3 hours to get through it
