I think the course is really good, every chapter is very clearly explained and it uses simple but effective words to describe each concept, which makes it easy for people who don't speak English as a first language to follow. I would highly recommend the course

The teachers explained it non-hastily so i could follow the lessons. It is also good idea to read the lean yellowbelt book. I'm not a fast paced learner. Having access to videos that you can rewind to get a grasp on the theory is very handy.

Good starting point if you know little about operations and methodologies. Well explained in the videos, but the book is also needed to complete the course, since some questionnaires are based on it. Looking forward to the next chapter!
