Very informative but module doesn’t work very smooth all of the time. Glitches and pages not loading made it take much longer.

Not Mobile Friendly

June 30, 2025

The course itself is fine—however, it is not very friendly on mobile formats. The audio sometimes cuts out and you have to restart from the beginning. The “optional” tests are not optional, you do have to complete them before being allowed to schedule your exam. I would have completed these anyway but it was a little annoying to be forced to do them when they’re labeled as optional.
