Very informative and easy to follow course. I do wish you could rewind within the module, you can only do so at the end of the module.

My only time with how this training system works is to make sure to pause when you want to take notes on something. The module will keep going and you can’t rewind without rewatching the whole module. Other than that it was excellent and easy to use!

It was a good course. Wish the person talked a bit faster or you could change the speed a bit. Since it talked so slow, I spaced out at times but overall, it was a good course. Got to the point of the modules quickly and efficiently.

Easy cheese

It took me 3 days from start to finish. Because I kept falling asleep. I was in my room where it too quiet. But your class was waiting for me when woke up with a

Sore neck. I like that the course requires interaction to proceed to course.

Audio didn’t work at first and I had to switch to my tablet. After that everything went well.

Lisa

Easy but audio was strange

May 31, 2025

I definitely learned all I needed to, and it was quick and easy, but there were some modules where the audio wouldn’t come on so I had to turn on and read the subtitles. It wasn’t necessarily bad, just inconvenient
