Excellent presentation. A lot of very good material was presented and was very much in line with what I was wanting to learn.
It was a good course, very informative and easy to understand. The duration says 5 hours, but it takes much longer than that to take notes at the same time and stop and digest and learn.
This course is well produced and easy to follow. I'm confident I will be less intimidated by electrical drawings after completing this course!
