Reviews
Instructor knew her stuff. Long time in the industry. Course was easy to follow and very informative.
The platform is very intuitive and easy to navigate. Great tool for learning
I think the platform is very good and look forward to taking my next course in early October.
Easy to work with. Learning material pdfs were able to be printed out in color which was very nice to write on.
Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.
