This course is very detailed and explained very well. also the clips are very impressive and learning at level 5 it is very time consuming. doing the mocks is very hard knowing about each module and taking notes as there are big words and pronouncing words and learning this module is very excellent. the course is well prepared, I will do another course with one education.
