The biggest problem I encountered was the incredibly low volume and sound quality. It was nearly impossible to hear what the trainer was saying most of the time. It felt like they were murmuring or whispering, making it extremely frustrating to follow the content. I tried adjusting my device's volume to the maximum, but it didn't make much of a difference. It was incredibly frustrating to miss out on crucial information because of the poor audio quality. I felt like I was constantly straining my ears to catch even a few words of what was being said.

Really enjoyed the course specifics, organization and walking you through the Proposal Process. Will definitely be reviewing this course again.

Yes, it was a good match since I have proposal experience, but I enjoyed the emphasis on planning. I had no idea the extent to which planning could be done. Thank you.

I was expecting one more chapter about how to write a good proposal (detailed) as the title suggested 'proposal writing' as well. Anyhow, still got a little idea on the same. thanks.

Excellent presentation, but the quizes are not so easy to take... Sometimes, more than one answer could be considered.

This is a great and informative course for the beginners. Lot of basic information to hone up your skills.

Very informative, but personally I prefer more formative assessment in a course rather than pure lecture.

Course does a great job of following all that is included in the Foundations APMP Certificate. So, I gave it 5 stars. However, I wish APMP broke up their certificates into BD/Capture & Proposal Management. The first 3 sections of this course really have nothing to do with Proposal Management. It is all the "stuff" leading up to a proposal. It is important and needs to get done, but it should be a separate piece of the puzzle.

This would have been more better if we have few sessions on realtime proposal preparation using a general RFP

gut, übersichtlich und verständlich rübergebracht. Die "Werbung" für APMP stört nicht denn das ist ja Teil des Ihnalts

The audio is pretty low, and maybe some abbreviated/bulletized review notes that are viewable would be helpful. Otherwise, pretty great!

Intresting concepts at an high level, though I would have liked a more in-depth description of the various activities. Also, sometimes part of the slides are covered by the instructor

I'm brand new to proposal writing, and this course provided enough foundational information that I can start my new job with confidence.

It's great! I didn't know that students had a steep discount for membership, so I was able to get a membership for only $25.
