Very clear information well presented
Excellent teaching
Amazing Course!! Made my begging journey into candle-making smooth!!
Because course is being explained clearly
the video is having interruptions and freezing all the time
Enjoyed the class
Really good course. Everything was clearly and eloquently explained, and the additional written resources were particularly helpful for going back and revising over. The troubleshooting was really useful for pinpointing errors I had made and I believe I will get plenty of use re-examining lessons in the future. Haven't done the assignment yet purely because I am waiting to re-do it having examined where I think I went wrong first time. Many thanks for such a helpful and interesting course.
Amazing

So far it is good. I've never made candles before so I need to know the basics. This instructor seems to be going over everything a beginner needs to know.
I'm glad she is going over all of this. For some it might be common sense but better to go over it anyways.
