Great first time experience. I took the Holistic Health course and it took me about 3 hours. I will look at taking more courses in the future.

In short

In short, the courses quality are pretty good. You can choose to do courses and pay certificate later. And the certificate price is relatively cheap if converted to my local currency. You can learn new things first and then choose if you want to buy certificate for your course. Now to be transparent up to this point i still only use it for small number of courses i didn't know yet how true this is if you plan to do a huge amount of courses.

Course that give the important needs to real life, easy to take assessment and easy to manipulate and study, no hard terms, simple to any one who would learn from it, but the only problem is the payment of certificate at the end of the course I was not prepared for it.
