The teacher has good speech for the understanding of non-native English speakers. There is an interesting approach to learning vocabulary about logistics.

It was a great experience, I have learnt a lot and looking forward to using what I have learnt in the business world

Taking this course was very refreshing for me. 13 years ago i worked with an Agro commodity company and my duty then includes, Liaising with our freight forwarders, Shipping companies, and the final destination. Most of the terms are now fresh in my memory again and I may go back to that industry again. Thank you the presentation was very simple to understand

worksheets that the instructor is referring to are missing (lecture 5 so far), no solutions to tasks for self-check, she only says "I hope that you managed to fill in the tasks." Being a language teacher myself, I find this a bit unprofessional.
By Fernanda Gonzlez on 9/26/2020
It is always great to learn new vocabulary. The pdf material is great :) I would suggest an update in the incoterms from 2015 to 2020.

nice lecture.
By Manjul Pant on 9/6/2020
Not a very great course . The explanations are not very clear . No keys for Exercises to validate nor the content is covered in course . Also its not cover many logistics related terms like OTD ( on time deliveries ) and many more.
By Carmen Macheve on 8/24/2020
Its not very easy to follow through this course as the material is in different places to be accessed.
By Jolene Jacoby on 8/9/2020
I am not able to download the resource. I get an error message
By Sergio Roberto Boarina on 7/26/2020
This course should be either updated or removed from Udemy.
It's a pity because the idea is good, the subject is interesting, and the teacher speaks clearly.
These are the problems:
- the solutions of the exercises are not present
- some exercices and audios are clearly missing
- many aspects of the logistics are not covered well enough, for example the warehousing
I spent 2 hours and I learned something, so it was not a complete waste of time, but I'm disappointed and will NOT publish the certificate on my LinkedIn profile.
