Filled with the knowledge needed!
Iโd rather be able to speed up the course either a faster playback time or being able to read at my own pace I found it very slow
I really enjoyed how it was presented – It was a very good pace and repetitive in a good way.
I did not know lot of stuff before watching this entire module. I learned a lot and will put in practice.
Course covers all areas needed and straight to the point.
