It was slightly difficult to follow the lessons because of the accent and mistakes in sentences by the non-English speaking facilitators

The content is good, but the audio quality is too poor, sometimes is difficult to understand especially if you are not a native speaker.

Hard to understand some instructors due to mic quality.

Extra unnecessary details that appear to act as bulk and just prolong the course.

Information is decent but the audio is absolutely horrible. Cannot believe that IBM allows such thing to be published under their brand.

Videos are old, not up to the standards of online learning in 2023. Good information but could be presented in a much quicker fashion.

Відсутність адаптованого переклада українською мовою. Автоматичний переклад не передає нормально зміст. Іноді дуже важко зрозуміти.

I think the topics are reviewed in a rush, you need to look for external information to understand some of the topics.

We should be able to see the questions we got wrong and/or there should be an explanation of why we got them wrong
