Thats really a very useful information . do you think taking a live online class is more useful or on demand would be better? I want to take GWPAT certification but in two minds which one to go for ? its pretty expensive.

I took the live classes route so I can only vouch for that. It's better to take the live classes if you can because it's going to be done within 1 week and there's less chance of procrastination. Good luck with your learning!
