"During COVID-19, our industry witnessed the closure of swimming pools thus heavily impacting all employees. The ability to direct sector employees to online training that was relevant and impactful was of huge benefit."

"As a legally blind person who did not grow up with computers, I found the program extremely user-friendly. The ease of registration, selecting courses/lessons and returning to the right place after an interruption were all very easy processes.  Instructions were clear, succinct and stood out on the screen.  It was also helpful to have the content in audio, reducing the amount of concentration required to read."
