Provides a good overview of CO and CA, however some more elaboration on some of the key concepts with more examples added would have been better. Also, there isnt any quiz's or practice problem after each section; making the learning passive. However, good lecture to start off and get an overview :)

The tutor is providing exposure but not explanation. Recitation of facts is not teaching.

I recently completed a COA (Certified Office Administrator) course, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. This course has been a game-changer for my career, and I'd like to share some of the reasons why I'm so enthusiastic about it. First and foremost, the curriculum was incredibly comprehensive. It covered a wide range of topics relevant to office administration, from essential software skills to effective communication strategies. The depth and breadth of the material ensured that I gained a well-rounded and practical understanding of the role of an office administrator. The instructors were outstanding. They were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and responsive. Whenever I had questions or needed clarification, they were there to help. Their real-world experience added a practical dimension to the course, which I found invaluable. The course was well-structured and organized, making it easy to follow along and progress at my own pace. The flexibility it offered allowed me to balance my work and personal life while still making significant strides in my professional development.

Excellent and detailed explanation. But what is lacking here is exercises. The course should include tons of quizzes and exercises to test and consolidate the knowledge!!!
