The content was excellent
The content was excellent. I learned and retained a lot. Well explained and easy to understand. If you can make it easier to navigate through the episodes, easier to find your place back when you restart it would be great. I was very frustrated at times because of that. For some reason it was not clear how far I was through each video, and almost impossible to navigate. Improve that and you will have many more happy customers.

Hi Noah, thank you for reaching out and we're sorry for any confusion. Based on our records, it looks like you had contacted us prior to the course to let us know you wouldn't be able to attend — so it does appear the information to join was available to you at that time. If you'd like to get rescheduled, we'd be more than happy to help — just reach out to our team and we'll get you taken care of right away!

Hi Jack, thank you for your feedback — we understand your frustration. Our materials have helped many students successfully pass their exams, though we recognize that everyone learns differently. If you could share some specific examples or areas of the training that didn't feel aligned with the test, that feedback would be very helpful as we continue to improve!
