Very pleasant experience and an extremely user friendly interface when navigating through the e-learning modules - The layout makes it very clear which modules have/have not yet been completed which means it's easy to follow the necessary steps to complete a course in both a quick and trouble-free manner.

This was much better than I expected it to be. Such courses can be a bit juvenile but some of this was very thoughtful and insightful. I actually found it better than some ""in-person" courses.
