Customer Reviews

★★★★☆
Very informative, and broken down into manageable sections. Very easy to navigate
Angela Howlett - June 8, 2026
★★★★★

The course was easy to navigate, and the content was presented in a clear and understandable way. The quizzes throughout were especially helpful, reinforcing learning and making it easier to retain key information. Overall, a well structured and engaging learning experience.

Rob Wilcox - May 18, 2026
★★★★☆
Overall a good course that gives a solid overview of CDM with lots of information and broken down really well into manageable sections. Also, great addition of links to more information. Included interactive sections and mini quizzes were very helpful for consolidating information. This could be made more accessible with options for audio reading as this is a very text heavy course. It would have been good to receive a confirmation when first purchasing the course or be informed of the timeframe to process and be given access to the course. I had to email support in order to be given access but this was delt with in less than an hour.
