straight forward format
great to be able to pause and restart where you finished as hard to do in one sitting during a working day , easy to follow and very informative
Informative and well paced
Informative and well paced course. Provided a lot of clarity to information I've previously been confused by. I immediately went to check which extinguishers we have at our nearest points.

Too long.
Too long. I could not find an option to watch in silence with Closed Captions / subtitles.
Very informative and easy to understand
