The course was easy to follow and kept me engaged.
I really enjoyed being able to take this course on my own time. It was informative, kept me engaged, and even had some funny moments. I feel prepared for my test and I feel that everything I learned will stay with me long term. I would definitely recommend this course.
Had to rewatch multiple long sections because the modules kept glitching out. Wouldn’t recognize that I finished the section and made me do them again. Hard time loading a number of videos, scheduling my test was a pain. This course does the bare minimum, it functions, kind of. You get what you pay for.
Liked being able to go back to do extra reviews, take notes and make sure I was understanding correctly.
Great course! Easy to remember
It is impossible to copy/paste items in the online course, which means you have to type/write out notes that could easily have been copied. The speed is okay for just listening, but too fast to take notes, and there is no speed control, so you have to keep pausing the video. The screen is such that the pause button is below a laptop screen, so you have to scroll down to hit pause, which sometimes means I couldn’t pause fast enough. The videos do not allow you to back up on the first play, so if you miss a note you need to finish the whole video before you can try to hunt for the part you missed. Last, why not just include a pdf or word doc of the notes written out, that would make it much easier to get the notes but keep going through the content.
great

I would rate this course 5 stars. It did an amazing job of teaching in an engaging way that kept my attention, helped me to absorb the information, and encouraged me to do my best in keeping my workplace clean. Overall, it did a great job of taking me from start to finish, and through the metaphorical finish line of the test.
