I loved that it was short, precise. The videos weren't too long but also kept me engaged. I was able to take some notes and as someone looking to start getting into freelancing to supplement my income, this provided a good starting point.

it would have much better taking one project ( start from applying for new proposal how does it get approves and next steps) example for applying a project and how the workflow happens would have more value added..

I am not just half way through the course yet the course gave a very comprehensive picture of freelance jobs in general and specifically at upwork. No courses covered the entire picture of freelance jobs in such a foundational way. Moreover the presenter has maintained a high standards and shows leadership skills. I am very pleased to have enrolled in the course. It's so far excellent and unique.

Pretty good value... I enjoyed it... Just trying to line up the profiles was the hard part because trying to look at the profile while the instructor explains is impossible

I've always heard about Upwork prior to taking this course but I didn't have a sound knowledge of what Upwork was all about. With the knowledge acquired from this course, I'm storming Upwork the become a freelancer

This course answered many of the questions I had about becoming a freelancer. The information was precise and and easy to understand. One of the things I appreciated the most was being exposed to both Pros and Cons of the different aspects of freelancing. I feel pupmed and ready to start my journey :-) . Thanks a mil!

Short but value-packed course. Completed within 1 hour. Some tips are really helpful I think. But it is written in the course description - "How I made $3000+ per month". I think this statement let us assume, we will find some personal example of the instructor and will see her profile and kind of personalized things to learn from. But in reality there is no such example and personalized content. Yes, there are examples from other freelancers. So, overall it is a good course, if not the best.
