My experience with the programme is going very well. The lessons are clear and the tasks as well. I can see what I completed and what I still need to do. What I particularly like the most about the programme is that I can access the lessons in my own time and choice the moment I want to do them. I like the tests after each chapter because it gives you the opportunity to check if you understood everything and write the things down you missed. For me that works the best. This programme fit perfectly with my goals!
So far, it has been an extraordinary experience. The tutors are knowledgeable and experienced. They deliver the lessons in the best possible way.
