I have attended this course in parallel to formal training (virtual instructor led) and hence i can benchmark it apple to apple. I am truly overwhelmed and satisfied with the content of the course. Also, the best part of the course is the exercise and the tools provided to accomplish those exercises. These assignments enable and empowers you about real time project experience and also the template provided in the course can be utilized in your own project. Hence the suggestion would be to commit yourself for the exercises as they are priceless and useful in longer run.

This course was a great one, I learnt a lot with respect to time management and scope management, I think the cost management could be further improved for people coming from on financial backgrounds, as it took several hours to get the average idea to complete the assignment, and please work on the assignment forum it is filled with people asking people to mark for them and not talking about the problems relating to it

Great course with great instructors! Would like to see a bit more explanation (example in video) on EVM in an extra chapter. Instruction on making the charts would be a plus but was not included. That would have given the course a 5 star rating. All around a great training for an engineer!

In my opinion, very detailed course about scope, time and cost management. Assignments were challenging, examples not representing the actual amount of work you have to put in to succeed.
