It's one of the most affordable certificate examination you can write especially considering that it is an online course. Scoring marks is easy if you watch all the videos and submit the assignments on time. The questions in the final exam are largely from the assignments.
Abhishek Kushwaha

Good course but no certificate try to give more innovative ideas and it's a old course ofcourse they need to update the data in real-time situation circumstances and more of a bookish knowledge given instead case studies were taken into account it would have been better
