"It was a great course, I found it really helpful. I really liked the diversity in how the information was conveyed, it makes such a difference having a mix of text, videos and documents etc. Having downloadable resources is helpful, it will make it easy in the future to be able to quickly look up information on a specific modification. It was really good, thank you for sharing it with us!.
