By Donna Andrle on 1/28/2026

I found some of the verbiage used was not what I am used to as 'standard' - an example is in one section accounts receivable and accounts payable were mentioned, yet in the 'quiz' other verbiage was used.

By Londani Tshitereke on 1/16/2026

This session provided detailed information about financial management of organizations, well explained

By Jerryl Raganit on 11/3/2025

I've learned a lot during the course duration. It elevates my knowledge and confidence in upskilling. Great job!

By Kyle Dowd on 6/2/2025

A lot of good knowledge and information I need to know and already use in my day-to-day activates at work! It was a great refresh on most topics to make them a staple into my skill set.

By Analisa D. Peralta on 11/4/2024

A good way to freshen up on the fundamentals of financial management and at the same time learn more about cryptocurrencies , NFT which are not typically used in my line of work.

By Megan Thompson on 11/1/2024

Course was extremely detailed & very easy to follow. With the course being so detailed, I was able to fully understand what was being explained, and was able to take great notes throughout the course.

By Atharva Mali on 9/23/2024

The theory provided is on point but it just feels like reading of slides, there could be more better way to explain things with simple examples, problems solved could have been explained well

By Robin Sedrick Wayne Seals on 8/12/2024

The course has been very informative and to the point. I am very happy that I enrolled for the course.

By Anonymized User on 12/10/2023

This course aptly covers the basic terms and terminology required by anyone trying to familiarize with accounting/business key terms. Some of the content is complex with little explanation but one is expected to lookup the terms themselves for better understanding. I liked the section on ESOPs and Financial ratios. I would recommend this course.

By Bathula Tirumala Sai Pavani on 6/27/2023
