i learnt a whole lot on safety and health and certainly looking forward much more now than ever to the experiences on this path.

The narrator's tone of voice and the reading pace in some of the courses are not very engaging. In fact, they have the opposite effect — you quickly become bored and feel like falling asleep.

i'm not a native English speaker, the accent is the one thing that distracts a little from the message being presented.
