Very good course, it really explains strategies on how to influence others and also how to protect ourself from other unwanted influence.
Very interesting. The explanations are salient, the speakers get a excellent pronunciation and make this course vivid. Be patient and persistent. You will have to work on two assignments on your own, quite not easy. You need to provide times and energy to accomplish it. Don't hesitate to discuss through the forums with peers. Enjoy!

iLearn is a great platform to enhance the skills & knowledge. Also it's a great initiative by our organisation. I enjoyed my learning journey very much. Thanks to iLearn.
The course has good theory structure and real-life assignments that will provoke you to apply immediately what you have learned. I enjoyed the lecture's clear pronunciation. It is easy to follow.
The psychology aspect of this course was interesting and applicable, however, it could probably be condensed. The week one content could probably be half the length and still be just as effective. If you are not taking this for a certificate, I would recommend fast forwarding or scanning the transcripts for week one and focusing on weeks 2 and 3.
