This course was very enlightening for me. Math has always intimidated me, and the instructor was able to help me understand the best way to measure results without it becoming overwhelming to me. I recommend this course for anyone that is looking to grow their knowledge in measuring ROI.

The course is very clear. I suggest an even greater emphasis on practical applications (ROI, ROE, measuring the impact of training) rather than theory
