This course is very detailed and explained very well. Also, the clips are very impressive. Learning at Level 5 is very time-consuming, and doing the mocks is challenging when covering each module and taking notes. There are big words and pronunciation to learn, but the course is very well prepared. I will do another course with One Education.
