Really enjoying the course so far. After each section you complete a test and 1 or 2 modules to check understanding. And questions you get wrong can be seen when you review your results so you know which sections to go over again. I had limited financial services knowledge starting the course but everything has been explained well so far! The course was a fair bit cheaper than other sites I looked at so its been well worth the money so far.
