when a technical issue is resolved in less than one hour, that is exceptional. I as and admin could not access a specific training. they quickly discovered that out IT have not updated the KB4 tech team as to a upgrade which had been performed internally. they not only discovered the glitch but were actually able to have me notified of any future upgrades automatically on both sides.
could use CE Compliance training courses in order to better distribute to our broker dealer/advisor colleagues
