TCM FACHVERBAND4.5 Hours Course Reviews
March 16, 2025Brechtje is a fantastic professor! She clearly presents the information in an organized, succinct manner. The class was wonderful.
The platform is extremely frustrating. If you pause the video and go back to it, the video restarts at the beginning. At multiple times during my viewing of the video my completion of the course percentage would change from 8% to 83% and then back to 12%. I have done previous classes through this venue and have never had a problem before. Hopefully it is a one time mishap.
Response from TCM Academy
Hi Diane,
Thank you for this review. We are sorry for this frustrating experience. It is not what we like when we are learning, and we do not wish this to others. Hopefully you did not went through this with other courses. Our IT team is looking into it, as we write this.
