Comment on the instruction that was provided.

• The instructor was great, knowledgeable with lots of experience and very down to earth. I was skeptical of the Zoom format but it was great.
• The instructor was fantastic, it was great having an electrician teach the course, not just a paper pusher who has no real world experience.
• The instructor was very good and thorough, was even better at getting you caught up and understanding the material if you were struggling.
• The instructor was simply amazing, I cannot say enough great things. He was knowledgeable, very patient to explain the whole course load. What I really liked as well the stories that he shared out of his extensive and wide covering experience.
• Very clear and understandable, even from a complete newbie.
