This is a really well-made and thorough course on business case development. It covers the basics of business case development and covers topics like brainstorming, problem solving, and decision making. The course is broken into sections that cover the basics and then moves on to more advanced topics. The course goes through a lot of detail about each topic.

Sorin Dumitrascu's 12 Steps Business Case Development course is a great means of gaining knowledge about how to evaluate different situations and come to the best possible decisions. The course is developed in such a way that it allows you to realize your potential and gain success. Aside from completing the course, Sorin will make sure you're an expert on business cases.

It lacks interaction, very hard to stay attentive. The lecture almost sounds like someone reading a script. Better sample case templates would also help.
By Cees Kappel on 1/29/2019
This is really a great course for anyone who is either stepping into business or already into it for the reasons as simple as doing it for a job or as a passive way of generating money. It has a really wide range of topics covered from basic to advanced level, with all sort of behind the scenes info.

Awesome content. Really High Level. You can tell that Sorin knows what he is talking about. Wish I could get campaigns up and running as fast as he does. I wish only one thing: there would be more information on how to market this service to clients. I run a web agency and this perfectly fits our portfolio.

It was too basic and generic in nature for business case. There was no show of business case templates in use and what can be financial parameters which are shown to business stakeholders (IRR, time horizon, NPV and ROI model analysis was completely missing from the course.

Very rushed course. Not enough time to practice and tutor tends to read slides without referring to any real example of business case. I am disappointed.
By Sławomir Leśniewski on 5/18/2017
A lot of joy and same amount of notes - as the course is very specified, with very important set of vocabulary, very clear content, excercises and needed redundancy for memorizing the material. Only words designed with their meanings, none by accident. Good job! Lets me learn the material i- n the fast & effective way. BTW: Impressive list of other courses. I am very interested, so I put them into my plan :)

Really helpful ! Glad I bought this course. As somebody who is starting their own business. At times it can feel lonely and there are moments where you feel unsure of what direction you need to take. However, these easy and quick tutorials made it feel as though you have a mentor guiding you ! Making the journey to launching a business a lot easier, thanks very much !

I tried other similar courses. Thie one covers very well the topics presented and is easy to take. I spent a very pleasant morning studyinig, and it is very good learning. The course structure is well built and proves that Sorin knows the topic very well. I liked the personal and practical approach.
