Reviews

Average Rating: 4.7 (74 Reviews)

I did not like the fact that you don't have access to course material if you cancel you subscription. Moreover the review of the project is made by ai, and sometimes it is buggy. And also it is very expensive. I think you can learn the same stuff elsewhere for cheaper. The quality of the lessons is ok but not something that worth the money.
