Learner-centered course Interviewing and Hiring Lawfully is structured with the learner in mind and is very easy to use. When doing a product review, I always ask this question: "Is the content of this course realistic and will my employees stay engaged and learn?" For this course, the answer is yes. The course provides the necessary content in a way that will keep employees engaged, and the interview is very realistic. Many additional features provide useful information: a glossary A term used by Microsoft Word and adopted by other word processors for the list of shorthand, keyboard macros created by a particular user.

Lastly, the course includes a Q & A message board that allows users to post questions anonymously and have someone designated by the client organization answer them. In addition, students can view questions asked by others and the answers. I also like the fact that this course can be purchased and used as-is by one person or a whole organization, with volume discounts and customization available. The latter includes client-specific interviewing and hiring policies as well as look and feel.
