If you really want an in depth and very thorough course, this course is the one to take. I know its required, but this is the first time I've done this class with Chris. He is by far the best instructor I've ever had to go over all of this information. He is not only informative, but explains and makes sure that you fully understand, even if that means going in depth to individual questions, which is also a very helpful way to learn.

Class was smooth, I understood most of the rules and important things to know to pass my test! Only thing I will say is in the future if we could have more practice scenarios.
