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.

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.

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.

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.
