It was very easy to learn and understand what was being taught
good

Pretty Easy
Good
There were multiple reminders and slow, easy to remember steps to follow.
it was good & easy to understand
This was supposed to take around 2 hours, as stated by my employer, and by all means it should’ve if it weren’t for the amount of issues I had. The sheer amount of times I had to repeat a video because it didn’t count as a module being completed was painful. I wanted nothing more than to jump around the video to see if I missed something, but that’s not an option. Nor is speeding up the playback at all. On top of all this repeated torture, the audio literally just stopped working from the first video onward because I played an audio file on Spotify then tried hitting play on the video again.
