First 2/3 of content was slow but last 1/3 was rushed. Even pacing would help with comprehension and retention.

This course was comprehensive, but the thoroughness of the verbal explanations, video demonstrations, examples, class engagement, reiterated concepts, and written material made me feel competent after the course. Very happy to have been a part of this experience that will and has better equipped me as a provider. Register for this course if in need you WON'T regret it. And you'll leave with an even greater desire to be the change and a knowledgeable advocate!

Very good training but the questions need to be improved
May 24, 2025
The training session is very good and informative.
It would be good if the questions were numbered. Given the short time, one could first attempt those questions that they are comfortable with, then go back to the ones that they need more time to think through

Chris did an absolutely phenomenal job with presenting the information needed for the course. You can tell that he is passionate about his work and helping others; it shows in how he communicates and delivers the material. He is very knowledgeable and relatable. I would enjoy taking another class, that was lead by him!
