This course is great even for audit learning like me. Just a tip to fully benefit from this course is to also watch the optional videos on the interviews. There a plenty of gems in there, which I do apply and them helped.

This course is a MUST if you have to learn a huge amount of information over long period of time. I was learning for a certificate and it took me 200+ hours over two months. This course showed me how to learn efficiently.
