Test question 15 was not graded correctly resulting in no points. I found the statement in the training stating the result to the question. Otherwise the training was very informative

course misses a little bit of structure. IT would help to show a little more slides and less talking head. Finally, I found the assessment questions confusing and not very consistent.

Short sweet and impactful. A lot of other "intro" courses are hours and hours of the instructor just talking, about nothing. Appreciate the quick and above all else CONCISE, information, a gem.
