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.

I was delighted for the opportunity to complete the course firstly and the convenience of completing in such a short period of time. The short videos were easy to listen to. I would encourage anyone to take these short courses to enhance knowledge or simply for an introduction to the subject matter.

Review of MS Word 2021 Beginner Course

Review of MS Word 2021 Beginner Course
This was well paced, presented, and informative. Excercises were easy to follow although I had to make some minor adjustments for Word 365. A major con, however, is that all of the section tests and final test contained questions for topics not covered in the preceding module or anywhere in the course. This was particularly frustrating as I answered a couple of those correctly per my version of Word. Overall, it is a decent course.
