The instructor’s teaching style was straightforward. I appreciated the way they gave examples. It made the learning experience enjoyable.

By Y Gao on 12/27/2025

Good content and a knowledgeable instructor. The quiz questions are well designed and include clear explanations. My only concern is that the videos are not very clear, and it can sometimes be hard to read the text on the screen.

By Navodit kaushik on 10/22/2021

Great content, excellent instructor. Video quality was bit bad especially in the earlier lectures where the screen was not entirely visible.

By Jai on 8/7/2021

Trainer Spencer Morris is amazing. This was a refresher course for me but I found this very engaging and entertaining. This is a very basic course however if you want to revisit your knowledge base this is for you.

By Rafael Leandro Pereira da Silva on 6/6/2020

Do you ever thought about buying "bad risk"? Take this course, grab a coffee, make yourself comfortable and be mindful. You will not regret what you will learn from Spencer Morris.

By Ximena Higuera on 2/5/2019

Lack of dynamic and good explanations, very plain.

By Judy Diaz on 8/16/2017

Not overly technical, had practical examples. Appreciate the use of humor

By Praveen Pandey on 1/30/2016

The course content is good to provide an high level overview of Equity Products. Paul uses some very interesting examples to explain. Over all good session to attend.
