Thank you for the amazing course!
A few comments In Sha'a Allah it improves the quality of future courses:
-The intro volume is too high compared to the host. I kept muting the intro in every video.
- Auto-play feature for the video for a smoother learning experience.
- Subtitles increase the quality significantly.
- Auto Mark sessions as completed instead of manually doing it.
- the certificate was difficult to find.
Thank you again!
