Our take
Based on the ratings of 206 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in February 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is a short, beginner-focused walkthrough of starting a Shopify dropshipping store with AliExpress suppliers. It runs about 5 hours across 48 lectures and nine sections, and roughly 112 minutes of that goes on setting up the store itself. Ads are spread thinner. The Instagram and TikTok sections are around ten minutes each, and Facebook Ads gets about 84 minutes across two sections. It was last updated in February 2026. The requirements are light: basic computer skills and a few spare hours a week.
Reviewers mostly like how easy it is to follow. One likes that the instructors show their screen to demonstrate each step, and another describes Lucas Almeida's voice as educating and detailed. The complaints are consistent too. Some find it repetitive, with sales pitches that carry on after you've already enrolled. One reviewer says the Facebook page on screen was in Spanish while the narration was in English. Others call the content basic, and one reviewer says it gets rushed and overwhelming near the end. Sound quality also gets a mention.
About 130 of 206 ratings are five stars, and only 12 are one or two stars, so most people leave satisfied. One reviewer called it the cheapest complete course in 2023. It works as a first pass for someone who has never opened Shopify. Anyone who already runs a store, or wants serious marketing and supplier guidance, will likely find it thin. Treat it as orientation, then look elsewhere for depth.
Pros
- Screen recordings show each step, so beginners can follow along easily
- About 112 minutes go on store setup, the biggest section by far
- Assumes no eCommerce or technical background, per the requirements
- Short at about 5 hours, so it can be finished in a few sittings
Cons
- Instagram and TikTok sections run only about ten minutes each
- Some reviewers find it repetitive, with repeated sales pitches
- Called basic and rushed near the end; thin on suppliers and marketing
Everything is laid out for a beginner. Perfect to follow with.
Beginner level fits the store setup, though one reviewer found the later sections rushed and overwhelming.

I’m thankful for this wonderful course. If you’re looking to learn about dropshipping, e-commerce, aliexpress , this is the course for you. Take your time learning at your own pace , take notes or just replay a video when necessary. Cheers to your success
By Shehriar Husain on 3/19/2020
This course gives a nicely rounded but general overview of the dropship business model and associated payment gateways. This includes important start up guidelines wrt store setup using the Shopify CMS. The course is not meant to be fully inclusive and super intensive, but to get you going in the right direction.
By Joana Carriço Bonifácio on 2/29/2020
Very good, it’s a realy easy going and user friendly course, i recomend it.
By Qaz Qwert on 2/25/2020
while everything was fine from what i've seen.... I really got what i was looking for....... everything was fairly generic and.... well avrage like all other courses of the kind.... i was looking for some spesific solutionsi was looking for... such as for example a much more comprehensive marketing part... and how about how to find good suppliers and better information in regards of attracting buisness and... sure such parts as finding a good nitch aree important and it's good to have... but it's still a bit minimal... one of the reasons i love free courses is becuse i never know how much value i'd get from them... for this for example... i wouldn't pay... and i suggest nither do you... you can find everything you see here online/..... in other courses/sites/..... just too generic
