Excellent explanations and amount of course work for practice, the tests made good use of the examples and work given, I am satisfied with what I learned in this course and see it's real world usage.

Not organised properly. And it is stated that this course is for beginners. But the concepts and their usage is not properly explained.

Not a course for 'beginners'. I would not recommend this. I only partially completed it because my company has it for £FREE.

Paying for course just to learn how to loop and make if else statements... I don't think this is the best way to learn java!

The course is too boring, I am not sure if it is because of the language or the lectures.
