Great online class and great teacher!
Matt was an absolutely phenomenal teacher! I was a little anxious to do the training entirely online, but the breakdown of the information, the use of breakout rooms for discussions, and the interactive elements made it really easy.

I was extremely happy with the class and with the good preparation and instruction, I passed the test on my first try.
Highly recommended!
