Class was taught by the book. Didn’t understand the need for repetitiveness for the last day. Thursday was the test day and small scenario, but then on Friday we had to go through a whole course review before getting to the large scenario. I felt it was only towards the 8hr folks and the 40 hr class was along for the ride. Would have rather focused on more hands on training than a refresher of lecture. Jermaine V.
