The course content is very good and well designed. However, in many lectures we cannot see the screen while Ashish was instructing and explaining. As low vision person or a fully sighted trainer the screen recordings are most useful to create less mistakes. Anyways its very recommended course for anyone starting Screen Reading with NVDA. Going forward I am looking for more courses on specific productivity tools like Notepadd++, Visual Studio, Outlook/Gmail, Word and Excel etc.
