Straight to the Point
"The course was a great match for me. And it went straight to the point, with succinct explanation. I just passed the Salesforce associate exam and I can say this course was super helpful. I was previously using the Trailhead Trailmixes for this though they were good, I found it too long, and this course was absolutely spot on. Thank you Emily and Jeremy for being awesome pacesetters on this."
