Reviews

Sean is the very good instructor. I would like to take his class again in the future.

They are very good and made sure we had all the appropriate materials for class.

Easy to use and exactly what I was looking for. Value for money was exceptional.

Instructor was great, course was mostly very good except for too much focus on pricing

Although there seemed to be too many links for the course, everything worked smoothly.
