some of the videos being recording of meetings was a little distracting, and covered the text that was being presented. so not quite as easy to use as the Foundation level course Some of the questions were also incomplete, like a missing diagram, and two texts being the same. but I have seen those are raised as questions.

Just started the course, I have high confidence on this instructor. I strongly believe instructor is working on this course to update with latest syllabus and soon we will get updated course.

Some of the answers in quizes are wrong and it confuses the user In one quiz , state transition diagram is missing. It is so confusing that the wrong answers are shown as correct and correct answers are shown as wrong in Quiz , very disappointed with the Quizes.

While I found your explanations to be very clear and informative, I felt that the content was somewhat dry (Decesion table). It would be greatly beneficial to include more examples to demonstrate the concepts being taught. This would help in making the material more engaging and easier to understand. Thank you for your efforts

It was a clear course! I had already taken the foundation training with Tarek on his YouTube channel and another one on Udemy. I would appreciate it if there were more exam questions, similar to the foundation course. Keep up the great work!

I consistently appreciate the courses provided by Nezam Team. From the ISTQB foundation level exam to the Advanced level, I was a regular student. Tarek Roshdy's extensive experience ensures that topics are explained thoroughly, allowing for easy connections to real-life scenarios. His kindness and helpfulness shine through, consistently offering quick responses to our queries. I wholeheartedly recommend this course; thanks to Tarek Roshdy and the Nezam team, I have achieved good marks in my exams. Many thanks for all your assistance.

Muito bom o curso, gosto muito da metodologia e estrategia do professor, inclusive também me ajudou muito quando estava me preparando para o foundation level, como sugestao eu colocaria a inclusao de legenda em outros idiomas, como portugues, italiano e frances, também gostaria de mais exercicios sobre os capitulos finais.

As always, great explanations on topics and appreciate the questions at the end of each section to solidify the knowledge learned. I had bought the Foundation level course as well from Tarek in the past, which was great. Scored 96% on the CTAL TA exam. Just a note, please add the word 'Advanced' in the course title, I bought the course a day before the exam as the course did not come up in Udemy search before. I searched as ISTQB Advanced Level test analyst.
