Basic Theory is a modern and well-structured course that truly meets the needs of instructors. I especially value the option to choose between English and Swedish, as it provides a better overall experience given that SATS manuals are also in English. The clear 3D animations and the pedagogical structure make it easy to understand even complex topics like anatomy. The ability to pause, track your progress in percentages, and easily navigate between chapters makes the course both flexible and motivating.
