I learned how much I already knew. By having it quantified to PM terms, I feel confident in doing the other courses. I'm simply learning a language for a skillset I've already been enacting.

Good pace, informative and overall great experience. Quick recommendation though to include Risk Management topic in this course or if already covered in the next 5 course, then all is well.
