You actually get a decent course
UPDATE from 4* to 5*:
The whole course system is being reworked. The new courses that got published include a lot of courses on compliance and emerging technologies such as agentic LLM or Post-Quantum Cryptography.
The courses are now based on a short, dense text written in simple English and various exercises to deepen and apply the knowledge. The UI is functional, the chatbot helpful.
While still rough around the edges, this is now starting to become a serious alternative to US-based providers. The amount of changes within less than half a year is astounding.
UPDATE from 2* to 4*:
Within 24h I got back from customer support with a very thorough mail.
Concerning refund: They have escalated to management and if it is deemed to have been in good faith will likely approve it.
Concerning course order: Apperently there is an override button somewhere that does allow you to take the courses in the order that you prefer.
Concerning the format: They stressed that they are digital skill certifier, not a course provider. The content of the first course seems quite academic, I assume the others will be similar. I think if you already have an academic background like me in the field you want to work in, this certification will not help you much. I think the three target groups this is the most helpful for are 1. those who cannot afford another certification (fees are often waived for praticipants of poor countries!) 2. those who have a lot of practical, certified experience in one field and want to change to another 3. those whose target jobs know this certification (e.g. those in the EU institutions).
5* support, mediocre usability, sadly at this point not for everybody.
The issues of my first review have basically all been resolved, I am quite satisfied with that.
