The teacher (Grace) demonstrated good understanding and professionalism of subject matter. Very practical and easy to follow lectures. The course is the best so far for me on UDEMY. Very engaging and clear. However the pictures and images where not visible. I believe she is not aware of this. Thank you Grace you are GEM.

Good:The instructor is very encouraging and emotionally supportive throughout the course. It's short and easy to follow, making it simple to stay engaged. I appreciate how the instructor highlights the importance of communication and self-care. The demonstration videos were really helpful, and I liked how she included many real-world examples of what might happen in a work environment. Could be better: It would be helpful if some of the video clips were combined to make the content flow more smoothly and feel a bit more streamlined. There were a few materials mentioned that I didn’t see provided in the course—having access to those would be beneficial. I’d also love to see more demonstration videos, particularly for skills like transfer techniques or how to mobilize the patient. Lastly, I want to thank Grace for offering this course. It’s given me a basic understanding of what PTA's job looks like.

For me it was not as per expectation because physiotherapy is all about practical knowledge so this course does not contain any thing that was practical in nature
