The videos had a lot of filler talking and wasted a lot of time. The content could have been covered better without watching someone talk much of the time. More visual instruction could have been used to supplement the model.

This was a terrible training experience. The videos were long and important, or test information, was glossed over. The printed material was not useful for the test or for future refence as a trainer. Overall, this was an unpleasant learning experience.

Very good material and videos. It doesn't have the written material which makes you really pay attention to the videos and copy notes that you would need during the quiz, What I like about this course is good value for money and addresses alot of variations and regressions and progressions in exercises. Very practical and all ready to use material. Well done!
