So far the intro and agenda has been very thorough, perhaps a bit too thorough - 15 mins talking through the course agenda seems a long time, let's get started! Seems like it will be a very comprehensive masterclass though...

Later on it becomes better, however at the beginning sound quality could be much better, only external powerfull speakers put to the maximum volume were enough to listen to the presenter. Topic is tought step by step, with explanation and examples provided. Great course for those who want to be introduced with the topic, as well as for those who would like to strengthen their knowledge.

A lot of good tips, logical structure and, for sure, years of experience. More attention to details could make this course perfect - but, again, we speak about details! Over all good time invest!

For me the most annoying thing was not sound of the kids in the background, but computer engine was very distracting. Anyway good materials and a lot of work put into preparing this course ,so I gave 4.5

The course gave me a lot of clarity and direction on how to implement BCM for the organization I'm currently working for. The lectures were easy to comprehend despite its technical terminologies, etc. Thank you!

From someone having just a basic understanding of the BCM, this course helps you understand the concepts well. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 is because I expected a few more practical scenarios in the course. The contents are explained well and the breakdown is pretty good too.
