I may have chosen the wrong course. I wanted to learn about a small clothing line to sell online.

I have learned information from this course I have not heard from other sources. I do have a little information about the fashion business. Of course, I took notes. And will continue to review them! This course is a great beginning for my fashion business.

For a person like me who knows nothing about starting a clothing line it has been informative so far, and I am learning something that is new to me.

This was a very introductory course that had no real substance to it. Compared to other Udemy courses, this one was very minimalistic. Not worth the fee.

No details unfortunately. It was kind of like "here's how to make linguini: you need a stove, pots and pans." Okay but what are the ingredients? How much water? Salt? I'm completely new to this and felt like I didn't learn much.

It was good basic information. I did learn a lot for not knowing anything about the industry.
