    There are spelling mistakes in multiple places, the audio volume varies and, this is the worst, the graded exam does not show you which questions you got wrong, so it is very difficult to figure out where you need additional review.

    I recently completed this course and I'm thoroughly impressed! The comprehensive curriculum covered essential topics like self-awareness, tolerance of ambiguity, locus of control, management, and leadership skills. Each subject was meticulously explained, providing valuable insights into personal and professional growth. The cognitive style module was particularly enlightening. The course's engaging approach made complex concepts easy to grasp. I appreciate the emphasis on practical applications, which has already positively impacted my professional life. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to enhance their leadership skills and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and others. Five stars isn't enough!

    The exams, especially the final were extremely difficult. The wording was meant to trip you up and it did. Also, one should have not have to wait an allotted time to retake a quiz/exam.

    This course needs an editor. Too many grammatical errors and poorly constructed assessments. The lack of consistency distracted from the content
