There Has to Be an Easier Way
Work through the lessons at your own pace, on your own time. Read the lesson, watch the demo, then complete the self-check exercises to complete your learning. Speed through the 4 modules or pick out only what you need when you need it. Spend more time on what benefits you most and zoom through parts you are already confident in.
