💬 Student Reviews – Real Feedback from Our Learners

Joshua C.

Very easy to navigate and save progress. The questions could be a little more useful if they were about interpreting the drawing rather than remembering facts about system components, in my opinion.

Shirish P.

course are good but more depth would be needed

Sundareswaran M.

It is good course for basics recall

Hilary Ndubisi O.
