No problem. I discovered these courses earlier this year. And you're right, you can go at your own pace and complete a course at your leisure. Tons of great info there!

Thanks for tip, sounds like a great resource! Their site says each class is "conveniently short" and that you can complete each one in around 10 minutes.

Nice, bite-size chunks you can easily digest. Perfect!
