        Some really good content. Could use a bit of modernisation.

        The training has some great entry level advice for folks starting these types of roles. I think that with a bit of a graphics and navigation update along with some updated examples (perhaps even an option to branch into a few different spaces that the learner can choose) would be great. You could have a minimum number but also give an option to look at a few more for those that want some additional help. It would be good to have a 'pre' and 'post' version of self-check so that learners can see growth across the course. The content was good, and info was good but a couple updates would make it amazing. Even with this feedback, have recommended the course to others. Again, constructive criticism rather than negative review.
