The course provided fundamental information, however the textbook was dry and one dimensional. A complementary workbook and/or a video/cd lecture would have been a great enhancement. This would allow for listening to the material then reading it, then working the problems.
AIPB Note: This course is now available as on online course with an instructor

Did not pass the exam; questions on the final were confusing and did not relate to practice questions.

I am not sure about the rating. I did not do well on the test. I definitely need to re-read the text again.

The test asked questions mostly not in the Practice sessions; Plus the time factor was not enough to answer the Questions ; failed twice , hope things would get better
