The course helped me refresh my safety knowledge for the construction site. The content was easy to follow and the real life examples made it more relatable. I have not been in training for a while, so I appreciated how it was not too overwhelming. I feel more confident about handling workplace safety. I now know what to do in emergencies.

This training was well-structured and practical for anyone working in a pharmacy. I took a Pharmacist training program and it covered medication safety and also patient communication. The examples were too real and the quizzes helped me learn better. It even met my continuing education requirements, so this course is a great choice.

Content was clear and applicable to real-world scenarios. The navigation between sections on mobile devices needs improvement as some buttons did not render properly. Fix the mobile layout, and this would be a perfect experience.
