I feel like I have taken this course before from another provider. It is "dry" without any slides, video, or other supporting materials. There seemed to be an excessive focus on commissions.

I liked the materials of the course in pdf format. Quizzes in the form of multiple choice were very helpful. Also, I really liked the explanation of the wrong and write choices

Good course, easy and interesting examples. The final exam was a bit confusing, a few typos and the last question didn't seem to have a correct option.

Text-based courses are more difficult vs video courses. But this was a requirement for my license.
