It teaches things from very basic to start and it is very details with a slow pace.
By Anonymized User on 1/14/2026
As I've gone along into the class, I have been able to catch more of the content by stopping what he is saying and look for where he is pointing. When I get to the quizzes, then I know where to start...under what tab. I'm a senior learner and need to be shown more.
I like the introduction, it gives you the reason why you should take the course and the benefits of being certified!
