Mixed video, activity, and test help me focus and learn so much. And we can try many times in the test help us gain more confident and chance to enhance where we haven't understand. Such a great work.

Maybe, consider applying the same course material in different formats for people with varying learning styles. Not sure if that's possible. I enjoyed the course and can't wait to start the next class. Thank you!

O curso é ótimo para quem quer iniciar uma carreira em Project Management. É todo em inglês, mas se você conseguir lidar com isto - se for brasileiro e não falar a língua - conseguirá habilidades muito importantes.
