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.

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.
