This course open my eyes to a whole new world of information. I enjoyed learning how our bodies are affected and what to be aware of. This was just the first step in my schooling. It was so intriguing. I finished it within a few weeks. Just enrolled into my specialist course. I am thankful to have found AFPA.
We're so glad you enjoyed the learning experience! Congrats on your completion and taking the next step in your education, Laura!
It's going ok a Little slow for me but I'm getting through. More input would be good. My assignments ate getting approved but feedback would be great.
In the nutrition portion - too many statistics that are just uncalled for. For example percentage of seniors eligible for assistance that don’t use it. I mean - do I really need this information? FAILED the test with an 84 when the required score to pass is 85. Open book test but with 275 questions you only dig so much. Oh well—learned some new things.
