Unfortunately I have not found it engaging so far. When I see the instructor, he seems disinterested, very poor quality video. This is reinforced throughout the video where there is no attempt at screen panning, zooming or using any highlighting at all. Quite disappointed so far - sorry
Very well explained and simple to follow
Sometimes speed of information presented is too fast. In addition the instructor seems to be doing the course on the fly without preparation. Since I wrote this review I spoke with Richard and we discussed my concerns. He is very responsive and concerned about the quality of his courses. I was very impressed! I am very pleased to change my rating.
Great course for people who are new, Sometimes things are done fast but the nice thing is you can pause and go back in the video to double check what you have done. Very Good course to take!
Very knowledgeable course for anyone that wants to learn about PC and Mobile.
