    Didn’t walk away with everything I should’ve learned for basic Notary Skills. Need more class structure, group was too large in tight space and focus more on Notary lesson only.

    Class was too big. I also used a promo code to save $10, but I was still charged the full cost. Will likely not participate in any further courses here.
