Testimonial

The best part of this course for me is that it was self-directed and that I could move at my own pace. The quizzes after each section were good practice. The objective was clear. The instructional materials increased my knowledge and skills on the subject matter. I liked how the e-book showed a progress bar, telling you how much more you had to go through it was encouraging to see the bar increase as I chunked out study hours.
