  • Found it difficult to understand at first since it included many sections with more sections. But after a short period of time, I passed through with a breeze and have learnt so much.

  • This has been an easy course to navigate through and supplies plenty of information. My only criticism is that it is incredibly dull to just sit and watch hours of video and then answer a few questions.
