Informative, simple, and time/ conveniently accessible

June 21, 2025

This course was very detailed and broke things down very nicely. It was very well organized, but not being able to rewind a little bit was a little annoying. I get not fast-forwarding, but sometimes, I just barely missed something, so I had to start that section all over again. Other than that, it was amazing!

ABC course

Training was clear and concise.

Recommendation/observation: during course I did not always receive a visual cue or notification that the modules were successfully completed. I had to select ‘Next Module’ to proceed; intuitively I expected there to be clear indication that each module was complete before continuing.
