Completed this. Was interesting overall.

I've just remembered this. Signed up at the beginning of last year.

Just started, now half-way through Session 1.

To answer a couple of queries so far, although I realise I'm very late to the party:

To do the very first activity, I had to find the 'Enrol Now' button elsewhere on the page, even though I was already signed in,
The first question about loan calculations: they have now added an explanation showing in detail how Loan 3 is calculated, so you can apply that method to the other loans. Personally I think they could have been clearer about interest being charged on a daily basis (and therefore reducing with each payment), but it makes no material difference to the answer.
And the poster wanting their daughter to 'prove' they've done the course: would a more effective response be to do it together, or if not simultaneously then at least discuss each module afterwards?

Just signed up for this, and am half way through the first section.

Maths is not my strength, and I got the calculations wrong for the loans question - but still managed to get the right answer, just with the wrong numbers!

I’m thinking of signing up for this and am going to encourage my daughter to also do the course.

Hi I have just finished the course and passed the end of course quiz. Awaiting badge. Really proud of myself

You will learn loads but I would suggest setting aside 2 hours for each session I found Session 5 and 6 very long so stretch it out - 1 hour a day to digest all the information and took my time on the end of course quiz.

I am on a hiatus from work and this is one of the things on my 'to do' list. `Really proud of myself. Usually have no discipline when studying on my own!

Have just signed up for the course too. Looking forward to discovering the content. Although, reading through some of the comments has made me a bit nervous about whether or not I’ll be to the maths challenge.🫤
