Mostly training was focusing on construction side however it should be more generic to cover other business domains also like information technologies etc.

the author knows what he is talking about and it's definitely related to construction. I like the illustrations. I would recommend this course.

As I am a finance professional involved in the EPC projects, learning the procurement cycle is important, this course is giving me the basic lessons to understand the key elements of procurement management that will lead to better understanding of entire contract management.

Great course. I’d prefer not to focus on the construction market or include examples from other industries.

Some of the information was repeated, and the instructor’s video occasionally covered parts of the text, making it difficult to read

A good overview of procurement and contract management for construction. I liked the construct of the course which provided a section on fundamental concepts as they relate to PMBOK and then a section on practical application.
