Best Quality, Content and Price
Great content and platform. The video learning mixed with interactive modules is modern, easy to understand and mobile friendly. Not just a slide deck with voiceover. Hands down the best online training in terms of quality and for the price, an absolute no-brainer.

The content is really good
The content is really good. The form could certainly be improved- it does not seem to be natively built inside good elearning platform (eg like ITIL V4 training) but rather embedded inside. Which means a large chunk of the screen is taken by controls, menu's etc and less than half of the screen is used for the actual content.
