My best experience
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Angie18081 month agoI started my courses and they finished them in a very short period, I loved how they added different scenarios and different answers where we could see what results they would give in the action. I am very grateful and happy to have learned many things that I did not know in this course, now I feel very full and sure of myself.

Good Expierence
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.anna236 years agoI overall enjoyed my experience. I felt that the course was very informational and I felt much more confident about my possible upcoming babysitting jobs after taking the training course. My only complaint would be that the course was very lengthy and became boring at some times. I was expecting more hands on work. I also expected to learn CPR and that was not included. Expecting CPR training might have been a misread of mine but I was still surprised. I think the taking some of the common sense ... basic training out of the course would have been very beneficial towards me at least. In the end I was happy that I took the course.
