useful for Personal Training career but some question in quiz is duplicate. The assessment should be upload and evaluated by coach or a.i. This make course realistic in theory and practice

Peer Review System is silly. The “peers” are random strangers on the internet with no reason to be fair. This is just a way for the course to run with absolutely no instructor. Laziness and greed on Coursera’s part.
