How would you rate the value of the materials provided as part of the course?

Course is great. Only issue is with the software/ program: once you log out and log back in the program 'forgets' what you've watched, doesn't register any check marks and starts you back at the beginning.

Great information.

Course topics were relevant and the speakers presented the material very well.
