Good course, covers subject matter well. One slide 10/41 in an early section has principle instead of principal - a common mistake. Enjoyable course.

Very good, in-depth course. Provided a good appreciation of CDM for a self-build project. Took about 4 hours to complete. Ideally would like to have some notes to be able to download for future reference.

Fantastic, well worth it. Very in-depth, but broken down into sections and not overkill. Took 3-4 Hours.
