Exceeded all expectations
The best online learning platform on the internet. Extremely well structured and professional.
Elementary course content
course content was very elementary, took maybe 2-3 hours to complete a course. I was ok spending the $30 to run through a few classes in a month, but turns out you can only do courses you are enrolled...
Only care about new customers
Buyer beware. They only care about gaining new customers. Once you are a customer forget about getting help for issues. In addition, they run promos all the time but they only apply to new custom...

They will charge you without notifying

Highly recommended for professionals
Really enjoyed this specialization. The syllabus was structured logically and easy to follow.
