Reviews

Excellent program

Excellent program, easy to use, and full ok usable knowledge.

20 hours to complete an 8 hour course

There’s required talking in the videos with no closed captions, which make this very limiting to those who might require accessibility. There are trick questions in the quizzes. The lengthy exit and entry process for each module adds additional time onto the course.

Great without the technical issues

Decent course however it keeps resetting my progress and forcing me to retake sections. 8hrs has turned into Weeks.

We're sorry to hear that you have experienced technical issues while taking our course. To improve your experience with the training, we would recommend that you try switching to a different web browser.
