Lots of information in this one. I wonder if it could even be broken up to cover the different retirement options to allow the learner to focus on certain ones.

It would be helpful to show slides when the instructor is giving an example. It is a bit challenging trying to follow when there is no visual.

This instructor organizes the material really well. Dry topic but I prefer these in-depth ones. Best comprehensive instruction in my opinion.

Course was great. Nice to have examples, but the examples are not displayed on the slides so they are of limited use and hard to follow.

This is a good course if you want to determine various options when looking into retirement accounts and ROTH IRAs.

This is a fine basic overview of IRA's, but it needs to be updated. For example, the 70.5 RMD rule is now 72.

The handout materials are 109 pages, but could be improved if more graphics and flowcharts were utilized.

Great overview of the topic. Tough to do since it is such a large subject with a lot of minutia.

The course was good but it would be nice to have a PDF with more detail than a glossary/index.
