What participants have to say
The training was straightforward and detailed but in an easy-to-follow format. It really opened and re-opened my eyes.
I appreciate the mixed approach, which includes video, graphic components, and slides. The quiz component is also helpful for reviewing material.
Great use of language and engaging examples.
