I think I'm two hours into the course, and yet to learn a single thing of substance.

Good understanding

By Andi Loveday

Although the instructor seems experienced, the programs used in the course are no longer available so it is outdated. The instructor seemed to make each session longer than I felt necessary, quite often I would be bored waiting for him to explain what I needed more than what I didn't need and would speed it up to be able to get what I needed. I am now looking at finding another, more up to date, course to do and am abandoning this one. Quite disappointed.
