“I was originally skeptical of this course, and figured that it couldn't be of any help at all in obtaining the certificate.
There were several modules and practice exams that I kept returning to, which I found helpful in order to help my understanding of the subject material.
The exam was fairly straightforward and laid out very similar to the course, albeit the multiple choice questions only had one correct answer, not several. The exam process was simple, effective, and the course does an excellent job of preparing you for the exam. My results were returned along with certificate of completion in less than three business days.
I felt that Strahinja Stojanovic's instruction worked well, and he did an excellent job covering the subject matter. My only complaint could be that the examples given were very generic, but still very useful towards my comprehension.”
“The course is free which is a nice bonus. I liked the pace of each module, the practice questions and the format that the training was laid out. For an individual wanting to learn about ISO 9001 and the Internal Auditing aspects, this online training was terrific and highly recommended. I as well appreciated the suggested reading materials. I recommend this course for all wanting to learn more. It is a nice introduction.”
“Pros: The course really is free and you can go back to review if you forget some of the details. I found that I could watch a couple segments, tend to my work duties and come back for more. That way I could cover one or two modules per day. I recommend the approach, it would have been overwhelming to do it all in one sitting. The instructor speaks clearly and makes an otherwise drab subject interesting. While I have fallen asleep in some ISO presentations, the speaker does a good job engaging your attention. The best activities were the ones where the student drags answers to match or where the student drags answers into the right order. That's how the game Continuum is structured on Lumosity. I think you should have more activities like that.
Cons: I think the course needs better and more frequent activities. The most common activity is a brief True-False or multiple choice quiz. Everyone is good at something, I am a good test taker. I could often answer the activity question by the way it was worded before watching the video segment. If you use multiple choice or true-false, you should have more questions. For some multiple choice questions, there are several correct choices and the student is expected to select all of them. The danger with this approach is that some of the choices are more correct than others. So you wind up selecting two of three correct answers and missing the third. This is especially galling if the third correct answer is also the least correct answer.
If, instead of testing students understanding of several concepts at once, you ask more questions and deal with one concept at a time, I think you'll get a better educational outcome. Have the website keep track of each student's score on the test. If they fail, don't just tell them the correct answers, make them go back and take it again. Everyone learns by doing, being asked to retake a test is a privilege rather than a burden. It also reinforces the learning. If one's only objective were to sit through the videos I would not care about the activities. But if you, like me, really need to improve your understanding of Internal Audits, you will need more than the activities offered here.”
“I found this course very clear and well structured.
There are a lot of references to useful documentations.
The quality of the videos are very good and the course instructor, Strahinja Stojanovic, is very clear in the explanations.
I'm finisching my revision and as soon as possible I'll apply for the certification exam.
p.s. Even if some information are already included in this course, it would be very useful to have a course dedicate to the ISO 19011.”
