Good course on the fundamentals of estimating and cost control in construction management. Good job bringing in industry experts to present on specific topics; however, some of the presenters are quite dry.
Also, the course appears to have been prepared circa 2016; it's due for an update re: CM technologies such as BIM, digital twins, and virtual/augmented reality and their use in construction.

some of the courses needed more practical exercises to understand it
some instructors just read the projected info without any extra input
all physical examples- were hard to read, either too small or just blur
on the positive side. most courses were interesting. there were some really good instructors such as the one on the last course

It will be good for those who are willing to start his/her journey in this industry, newly. But if you are in the intermediate or upper level in your profession I would not be recommended. Because most of the knowledge probably you were experienced in your career.

Excellent course. Learned a lot. Unfortunately, some of the content was very difficult to view, especially those based on the excel work sheets. Would have been great to get a downloadable sample excel sheets. Otherwise, a delightful interesting course.

I was disappointed in the estimating part of the course; the title is COST estimating, yet there was no example of pricing once a takeoff was complete. Also, I expected to learn more about activity duration of different tasks.

The first lectures were lacking in information and they had a lot of errors on them. Maybe you should include a basis knowledge to enter the course and use the time to extend on some of the later topics

The course outline is very good but more practical examples should be there. Also, in quizzes, problems should be included for practice. Overall, it is great.

It was quite informative, but what you need is to add course materials in excel or PDF. Just talking about the figures is not enough.

The course could be more cost control-oriented and more of a Civil/Construction planning nature.

Lack of slides could be a minus, but some teachers were great in concept explanations.

It`s a good overview of the theme but ends up being a little shallow.

Complete garbage...items not really presented in relevant details with respect to standard industry practices. What you will learn here is not how things are done on the job.

Ibrahim Odeh was an unsuccessful
and boring instructor.
