This is a very informative course and we gained a lot from it however, it could have been packaged better. Audio inconsistencies and delivery of information needs to be worked on. Regardless, this is still a very helpful course. Thanks

There is allot of detailed information and resources to go to. I am brand new to this opportunity. The information provided is exciting and a little overwhelming. I do have a very good "why," so I am going to push through my uncertainty and doubt towards my goal with absolute fearlessness. Thank you!

For our company, a significant portion of the first module focused on selling to the government as a small business. We are a large business, but it still presented accurate information. It is good for us to know what small businesses have to go through.

I found the video production to be dated and distracting. While Keith was done his job with updating the content, the updates are spliced in and are jarringly obvious. I found it unprofessional that he kept referring to the Federal Government as "the Feds." I was disappointed to see that some of the content was "borrowed" from other sources (i.e.: the SAM.gov navigation videos). It would have been more professional to point viewers to the actual source. Section 6 does not appear to contain the content that it should and needs to be updated by the instructor. Sadly, this is the only Udemy course that addresses Federal Contracting and I would not recommend this course to others in its current state.

I have learned a lot just in the Federal Procurement Overview section. I will work on the homework before moving on. I am looking forward to the rest of the content.

Instructor gives a good foundation for learning the material and provides applicable real world examples for students to relate to the information.

This course was really great and I learned a ton in the process. My company was already in the process of bidding government contracts, but I feel taking this course has advanced me at least 6 months while also highlighting some mistakes we were making. Keith is also assisting us now in some outside consulting so I am very, very pleased with this course for a multitude of reasons.

So far this course is short enough to keep your attention, but also gives nuts-and-bolts info with zero fluff. The aesthetic could be improved upon but so far it’s excellent.

Simplified, straightforward information direct from someone with real experience who's willing to help. The lessons are easy to listen to - good sound quality.

So far, this has been extremely helpful at organizing the information on gov't contracting and helping it all make sense!

I loved how detailed it was. I wish there was more testing. There's so many lectures, but not enough testing to review everything talked about.
