    The course was well-structured, offering a deep dive into the subject matter with a balanced mix of theoretical and practical knowledge. The instructors were clear and provided valuable insights that go beyond the basics, making complex topics easier to grasp. The course materials were comprehensive, and the assignments reinforced key concepts effectively. However, I believe there could be more advanced case studies or real-world applications to further challenge learners. Overall, the course delivered great value, especially for those looking to gain a nuanced understanding of the topic, but it could benefit from a bit more depth in the advanced sections.

    Even though this course is listed as a free course, it was full of priceless information. The course was also easy to follow and didn't smoother the reading with useless jargon.

    I think, this is good if you want to see what is your position in your company and it only takes 2h to complete I think for that reason it can be useful to some sorts of people.
