It is very Australia focused, instead of just a general overview of what Contract Management really is

Completely not applicable to the United States. Maybe 10% of content was relevant. Had I known that USA Patriot Act or US Legal requirements were not going to be included, then I would not have paid for this class.

Very clear explanation and consumable flow of information. Only critique would be some exercises with a few thoughts on the actual negotiation process and common redlines etc.

A very good overview of the entire "life of the contract". I have missed though an overview of the US and the EU specifics.

Great overview and information on contract process, the law and all other aspects of Contracts to include the management.

Generally, it was good and useful. My only remarks are that it is a bit too "Australia-centric" and was covering the topic from a more buyer's perspective than balanced between both buyer's and seller's perspectives.

It is information that is very welcome and contextualises my work in a much-needed way and delivered in a way so that every point is relevant and concise.

Analyzing all the steps of the valid contract, the type of the entity, the contract terminology and the manager's crucial role, leading us to valuable knowledge which means that we can react to every subject / issue properly without spending so much time how to step forward to.

Slide contains too much information. Speaker talks too much that you get lost in his words. No visual interaction in the slides. Not much examples are given. Expected the course to be much more interesting

This was a good match for what I was looking for in an introductory course. Some points were not applicable specifically but not harmful: Australian law/processes versus US; Risk Management framework was ver detailed and not particularly used by my team - versus just light touch on risk management. Others were very much on point and good for future training of contract managers.

The course gave a deep insight into the practicalities of 'Contract Management' and the points to keep in mind while preparing, entering, executing a contract.

Great into to Contract Management A lot of Australian info however you are still able to pick out the basics Wished there were printable resources that could be saved (i.e risk chart,etc.)

His accent is very difficult to understand. You should publish any course globally when it is manageable for people of every region. I paid and I am wasting my time by replaying again and again to listen him clearly. Better you keep a introduction video/audio in voice of same instructor so we can listen that before purchasing the course.
