    Pretty good if you have a short attention span and need things to be repeated, with examples. Videos are simple and really emphasize basic information effectively. You can't the certificate if you don't subscribe to Linkedin learning. Everything else is free.

    The course was quite short and good. I just completed this course. Once upon time i had tried paid promotion of linkedin but it’s costly so couldn’t continue it. Today I found it again from classcentral said that free course with free certificate but after completion no certificate available as said. Please don’t make us fool or cheat.
