This course can be enriching for your personal brand. I truly recommend it. But it needs an update, a long time has passed since the content was shared in 2015. Also I find the certificate a little expensive to buy it. Thank you.

I give it 4 stars, because the course is a bit outdated since it was created in 2015. Apart from that, at its core, it’s a very good introductory course, straightforward, and full of insights that will be beneficial for many.

It was good. An introduction to Personal Branding does not require you to be Personal everywhere, but it co-relates the relationship between being authentic and also being cognizant on how others perceive it. Well explained.

Es una profesora fantastica. El curso es muy basico y cualquier persona lo puede hacer. Sin embargo, estaté atento porque algunas cosas que dice tienen doble sentido y te pueden ayudar mucho en la vida laboral.

Recomendado!

Through this class, I learnt a lot about myself and what branding is about, I had already gone through a branding class before this so most of it was pretty basic but the lecturer is very engaging and makes the class fun.

I loved the content and learned a lot! However, I wish there was more lessons on how to grow your personal brand through social media platforms like facebook and Isntagram; how to reach people and make a bigger presence.

For an introductory course, it provided the basic knowledge of personal branding. It gave me a better grasp of the idea of personal branding I have been hearing about. And the linked articles were educative too. Thanks.

The presenter's style was approachable and easy to follow. Although some of the information would probably be pretty basic to anyone who has worked in PR before, there was definitely a few tidbits that proved helpul.

I adored doing this course on personal branding as it opened my thoughts towards social media presence, digital privacy and how one could establish a contagious content online in order to lure consumers.

Informative, but felt a little duped. Clearly instructor knew about the change in course structure, she made a video. I'm disappointed there was no advance warning. Take my money, then tell me. Not cool.
