Generally a good course. I was disappointed with the instructions in the Week 3 assignment. In past courses within the certification, the instructions have noted specifically what was required. Here, the instructions around the Google Business Page part of the assignment did not include some specific elements we were being evaluated one.

Once again a good course but the quizzes are improvable. I had 98%, I don't say it because I didn't know the answers. Many questions just don't make sense. Other than that the course was very interesting!

Great content! Valuable knowledge to work in SEO. On the other hand, it is impaired by some content that is very outdated, but it is the minimum within the course overall.

Week 3 was by far the most difficult week. It felt like a lot of theory and some more practical everyday examples would have been appreciated. Overall a great course!

Quite a good course overall. However, the Google+ My Business pages section (which makes up a large amount of the assessment/project in week 3), is quite out of date.

Although the course was quite good, it wasn't really relevant to me as it was very focused on the USA (especially the local seo part)

Practical demonstration on an example site seems quite a important requirement in this course for better understanding.

Quite useful, but again asks for using tools which are paid, which disables us from doing the tasks the best we can.

Would be good to work more on tools = meaning to show how tools work, which sections to use, etc. Thanks

The last part dealing with clients was a little bit too early from my perspective since after these 3 courses I wouldn’t say that one is ready to do work as an SEO expert charging clients for the service of professional SEO.

The rest of the course was as usually very informative and interesting.

I didn't learn much that wasn't already covered in the previous courses. I was also very annoyed during the peer review assignment because the rubric for grading did not aline very well with the instructions. I had to go back and edit my assignment after I submitted it because of this.

Course itself is excellent, cases are very good and practical, but the only thing is lots of technical issues with the assignments and quizzes. Therefore only 3 stars.
