The course was a very detailed introduction to Project Management for someone like me who needed a bit of a deep dive into the topic. I got some really useful tools and techniques which I can now use in my daily and work environments to help me maintain my projects. Easy to follow and I'd definitely recommend to all who are interested.

The course provides good basic knowledge. Introduces professionals with basic methods and skills for a more in-depth study of project management. My personal opinion is that this course does not yet give you the opportunity to work in this field - but it allows you to study further with a broader understanding and awareness.

As a beginner I have learned more that I expected. The information is useful and the AI Coach proved beneficial for cementing the topics/material presented. The coursework required more than 6 hours for me. If your are familiar with formal Project Management it may not require more than 6 hours.
