it

do you use Chun alright that's the

question and while you're answering that

question I'm gonna talk to you about the

class rules remember this is an advanced

class and it is accelerated meaning

we're gonna move at a faster pace now if

you're currently in a comprehensive

course already this class may be for you

if you already have your certification

this class is definitely for you it's a

great refresher and remember you can

watch the playbacks

any time and we have homework homework

is available in the in the description

section for 24 hours and remember

students should already have some

experience with cpt guidelines because

class will move at a faster pace than

usual

okay coders the goals for today
