The training was good, but it can be improved by adding more videos. Especially, I cannot understand why the teacher put a video of continuous playing.

The instructor is very good at explaining but this is a webinar, which focuses on only a few key topics. It is definitely helpful to have an idea about SOX, but it is obviously not a course. Besides, second half of the course(!) is a repetition of the first half, which means that the duration is roughly 1.5 hours. Still, thanks a lot!

Lecture no. 11 could be removed as it is a consolidated version of all earlier lectures. The lecture video can be removed or re-positioned in few slides as the wording get hidden.

I work as auditor and i am using this class to refresh knowleadge. Mail reason I put 3/5 is because in real audit you dont need to know what standard put what. You can learn, and you can see, but that is not practial for real work.If class would be put as comparison with resources for what AS2 has and what AS5 hav with ISO standards. That would be real class

O curso é listado com uma carga horária de 3hrs, mas efetivamente tem somente 1,5 hrs (a última aula é somente todas as aulas anteriores compiladas em um arquivo único). Em razão disso o conteúdo é muito mais raso que o esperado.

It’s a good course but misleading – it’s not 3 hours of lectures, it’s 1.5hours broken down into 9 videos AND the entire thing again as a 1.5h addition. So really it’s a 1.5h webinar
