Good course, it was nice being introduced on how to use new software like IBM cognos analytics and googleonlooker . The AI grading system needs to corrected to ensure seamlessness for learners.

I've managed an IT department for a while but it is not my original training. This course gives me the language and skills to direct staff and converse with them on the same level. Top marks!

Familiarity with the powerful Cognus program was very good. If you continue this course, good things will surely happen to you. This was the third course I took and it was really great

A very extensive course that covers every area of project management.
PP
This course was fantastic and very well organized. The lessons were easy to follow, and the hands-on projects helped me practice what I learned
CV
In general the course was great. The only thing is that for very beginners is really difficult to grasp even after a few attempts, therefore instructions should be broken down more in detail.
AD
Easy to follow and great learning fundamentals to learn when stepping into the IT world
SB
Key elements of software used were explained well. IBM cognos software has been updated since this was written however and there have been some minor relevant changes.

It was a good overview on WHAT you need to know but it was lacking in examples especially for the diagrams. Or at least better descriptions on how to make these. Also it needs a bit of quality control the narrator on the last video told me to enjoy my machine learning adventure or something and the first question was about cyber security which has nothing directly to do with this course.
