They have so many courses on their platform on almost every topic which is both good and bad in my opinion. You have a lot of options to pick which makes it more like a fish market.

There are so many topics and courses to choose from. I also like the ability to filter what criteria best meets my learning needs. I like the ability to search for a particular topic, i.e. Trust, Giving Feedback, Compliance, Wound Care, etc.
