The course material was fine, but the classroom atmosphere was seriously lacking in professionalism and learning productivity. I was looking for much more in this learning experience based on other reviews but, unfortunately, would not recommend this course to my colleagues. Matthew W.

Jonathan (the course instructor) was excellent in his approach to teaching. He engaged each student in the class and presented the course material in a methodical and ease to learn manner. I normally don't test very well; however, he assured me that I would. I scored a 96% and I am confident that I will retain the lessons I was able to learn. Susan C.

The book was not used as much as I would have liked. The videos were old and not always relevant. They were also the primary source of the education, which shouldn't be the case. They should supplement the lecture not replace it. Also there was a lack of hands on work. Leah W.

The class was very disorganized, we had three different instructors and none of them were on the same page. Edward S.
