Great and fast course

Pretty challenging but doable
by Steven W. on December 2, 2023
Great introductory course on business! Having owned my own business for over 15 years, I still found valuable info I can apply from this course. Wasn't hard, per se, but did take concentration and effort. Easily completed in 12-15 hours on average. Enjoy!
by Jeffrey E. on December 2, 2023
I personally don't embrace diversity yet I'm forced to pretend to complete my assignment.
