I was disappointed with the quality of this course. It consists of only three quizzes, which would be fine if the content were high quality, but unfortunately, it is not. The questions are very shallow and barely scratch the surface of the certification blueprint. More concerning are the technical errors: there are multiple instances of wrong answer keys and misplaced alternatives (formatting errors in the options). I cannot recommend this course until the instructor fixes the errors and adds more substantial questions
