“Honestly, this is one of the best course I have taken. It is extremely practical, and you cut out a lot of the BS that LE courses tend to come with. No BS just good knowledge. I can't think of anything else that you didn't cover. This is so much good new content that I spent a lot of time on typing out notes, so I can go over the notes again.” Corona, California Student 2022
