There was SO much information that I can apply and use to generate resources - thank you so much
The videos feel a bit cut-off a lot of the times, but if you ignore this then it's super informative and educating and well structured.
I found this course insightful and incredibly helpful.
Great course with real hands-on experiences and videos.
