The course is easy to understand. I like that the quizzes can be done multiple times as I was able to learn questions and answers I was weak at. I appreciate the video on the tutor talking through the subject as I tend to be more of a visual learner and understand the topics better as I can find reading through the manual tough to go through at times.
