Learning Experience: Platform is great to learn new skills in IT, management, sales and marketing.
Faculty: The faculty is good as she was the experienced editor and writer, hence able to give real life examples as well.
Course curriculum was updated and comprehensive but not all courses are comprehensive at the website. I like the practice material given in resource section.
Course Support: No the course didn't provide any career support, but the site provide career prospects related to every course.
