Chris Garcia is a fantastic instructor. I just completed his Article 9 class, and I was impressed by how insightful the class was. He didn't just lecture; he ensured we actually understood the concepts using simple language and examples where necessary. He turned the class into an engaging learning experience. I would definitely take another class with him.

Excellent course

Course was well-taught and engaging. I feel like we could have moved faster in some portions (there's a decent amount of repetition between the pre-recorded videos shared and then slides on the same topics), but overall the course was well-organized.

I recently completed the Article 9 online course and had a great experience. The material was clear, well-organized, and easy to follow, even for someone taking it for the first time. The examples and explanations made the concepts simple to understand, and the course kept my attention the entire time.
I appreciated being able to go at my own pace and still feel fully prepared by the end. Overall, it was convenient, informative, and definitely worth recommending to anyone who needs their Article 9 certification.
