Really enjoyed the instructor. Very detailed breakdown of IFRS 9, not a basic level course. Obviously for people who are reporting in IFRS. Would expect you know the difference between GAAP and IFRS.

The course would have benefited with real life examples. The reading of the slides was a bit on the dull side and lacked any flair to keep interest in the course.

While there was nothing wrong with the course, the course should have been 2+ hours in length to give the subject matter the proper attention that it deserves.

Lots of new terms and approaches that were very informative. I wish there were more F/S or mathematical examples to practice what we were learning.
