I took this course because I had most of the knowledge but wanted a formal certificate, however, having attended I realized there was a great deal I didn’t know so it was really worthwhile, 5 stars. A Patel

Lots of subject matter covered but having this course at our office meant we could also have it tailored and that added lots of value. Highly recommend go courses. J B Strawbridge
