The lessons go a good way to demonstrating fundamentals but you'll need a textbook to practice problems, reference trigonometric identities and standard derivatives and become familiar with methods.
For example, a lesson might cover the quotient rule for differentiation. It will then be followed by several problems to practice. But, you'll still need more practice in order to be familiar with applying it to all the trigonometric functions, maybe coupled with the chain rule with a logarithmic term in there.
It sounds complicated but it's very systematic. If you can understand the general principle the whole process gets dashed off and you just have to worry about putting the answer in the correct format which, if you do the practice problems like I should have, will be absolutely fine.
Best of luck!
