I don't recommend this course. Because in each week it's only a long video from the instructor providing vague concepts and most of the videos are histories from his past jobs. The lectures are a copy paste from articles from the internet. And the final project it's not related to procurement, it's more to manufacture processs. I had worked in procurement and I did not find any key concept or any exercise worth it. If you are new in the field you may not like procurement after taking this course

Great jump into Procurement Basics, and right away focusing on need for stakeholder communication and integrating Procurement into the entire procurement process in a way that adds value to the company and increases Procurement's importance.

Apart from 1 reading material I left a comment about (blurry/low quality pictures of tables and graphs) the course was interesting and provided me with quite a few new perspectives and cemented my current knowledge.
