The presenter is clear. Slides were sufficient for beginners. Only thing is the Quiz can be better by grouping them up as one Quiz instead of one question each. Also, provide an excel file even for a simple data would help in answering the quizzes. Nonetheless, I love the narration!
Gemma Vincent –
it would be nice to access to the course materials for download upon purchasing the course, other than that highly informative

I am sad to have lost 2 hours of my precious time for this. After this course you will still not be able to create any forecast. The course consists into 2 elements: it will only show you a “method” (= a division) on how to show % accuracy of an old forecast (yes, OLD forecast) and some key words to know. To go faster I give you the words you can check on wikipedia: Top-down, Bottom-up (and not bottom-down as it is mentioned in the presentation…), Quantitative, Qualitative.

The quizes could be more pratical instead of theoretical, there were no practice exercises for most of the topics covered, only for intercept and slope calculations and MAPE. Found it hard to understand the remainder topics practical applicability.
