Review

September 27, 2024

While the RBS training course was quite thorough, the follow up on Exam Scheduling is very unclear and confusing. The is no direct direction and the email received simply tells me to check my messages while at the same time displaying “There are no messages in my message directory” Over all i would say the end point of the training course fell short of expecations.
