Library Management and Infrastructure

After completing my course on Alison, I gained valuable knowledge and practical skills that have helped me improve both personally and professionally. The course gave me a better understanding of the subject and allowed me to develop new skills that I can apply in my work and daily life. I also became more confident in learning independently, managing my time, and solving problems.

Charge expensive money after course

why don't you guys just says you have to pay for the certificate? After i try so many times and scratch my head a thousand times to answer the questions, and i thought i was thankful because you guys are so generous, but holy cow I was wrong, you guys are the worst, like Coursera charge money, after the demo lesson, that's fine after you pay, you learn and get certificate, but you guys make the customers learn and make them spend so much time just to charge money right after the frustrate test. Why don't you just says it is not free right at the start, that will be more easy for us, No? If that is the case i wouldn't take the lesson from you guys. What a load of crap

Amazing Experience

I really enjoyed the course, it was very informative and I learnt a lot and I liked that we got to do practice tests in between each module to refresh my memory and to see if I was retaining the information.
