The instructor takes it slow and the concepts are entry level so it's not going over my head.

This is the second time I am writing a review as I feel my first didn’t do the course justice, I have just reviewed a few of the lectures again and have realised that one of the best features of this course is Chris’ teaching style, I have taken so many courses where the instructor is reading from a script and it comes across as robotic and it disengages me almost straight away if Chris is reading from a script then it doesn’t show.

The content is very easy to follow. The right amount of explanation and information. My note taking at university isn’t always the best and if I find that I have missed a large chunk of a lecture, this course has been known to fill in a couple of gaps.

I also particularly like that this course has grown since I started the first lecture, there are a number of printed resources available to me that I can download to have when I’m in class.

An excellent set of bite-size videos to help people to understand finance. Clear, concise and with great graphics. Each video contains simple explanations I can understand, and I like the humour built in! The ability to pause a video enables me to apply the knowledge to our business or let the message sink in, before continuing.
