This is a terrible program. Mentors are completely absent. Most stressful, poorly designed course ever taken in my 30 year career.

I think the content is very nice, but the projects has unclear instructions and the workspace can definitely be improved because it really impairs the learning experience

The course is great. Got to learn a lot with hands-on project experience. I'm giving 4 stars because mentor support could have been better. 1-1 chat availability and live troubleshooting with the mentors would have been great. FAQs for common problems would have saved time. Overall, I would recommend this program.
