The tests appear to be below expectations. The descriptions and vocabulary are not clear or direct, and some of the wording feels unusual. Many of the questions seem to be fragments rather than complete thoughts or full sentences.

Overall, I found the course content to be highly relevant and well-structured. The material covered was insightful and aligned well with current procurement practices. One area that posed a bit of a challenge for me was following the audio delivery. While I appreciate the presenter's expertise, I occasionally found it difficult to stay engaged. Perhaps offering transcripts, subtitles, or alternative voiceovers could help enhance accessibility and ensure all learners can fully benefit from the material
