Read MoreVery helpful and well explained taping techniques. The information comes at you very quick so being able to pause to take notes is helpful. Several quiz questions were not discussed during the presentation. Also, having a PDF or pictures would be very helpful. Overall, I am satisfied with what I gained from the course for the price paid.
