Actually...it CAN BE that easy! Sign up for one of our trainings or stop by to let us show you how to get your course content into Ultra. In many cases, moving course content between Original and Ultra can be incredibly simple, quick, and much, much easier than traveling through Mordor to destroy a powerful and ancient magic ring!
