It was fine, I just wish I could have adjusted the speed. I have ADHD which makes it difficult for me to process slower speech. It’s actually easier for me to process what someone is saying when their pace matches the pace of my brain. Please consider adding this feature, as it would make it more accessible.

January 16, 2025

This is a good program. I would truly give it a 5 star if the process to take the test was simple such as being able to use the laptop with the use of my cell phone and a room blank room. Not really feasible and a challenge in itself. The coarse was simple but also long and had moments of information that was not truly needed in my opinion. I have several managers needing this class but will decide after I take the test if this is what I will be requiring them to take.
