The other participants did not meet the prerequisites for this course. We spent far too much time on accounting lessons, which wasted our time. We rushed through the final chapters of the course due to a lack of time. These topics were essential for management accounting, so I am very disappointed with this course. The fault does not lie with the trainer but with the participants, who had no background in accounting. I would not recommend ORS

The trainer did not follow the course materials. The course materials were not opened until halfway through the first day of the training. The training lacked structure; exercises were set, but the theory had not been explained beforehand.There were many personal digressions. Too many lulls; the training could have been completed in a single day. The trainer has a great deal of knowledge but lacks teaching skills and structure. Only a quarter of the topics on the syllabus were covered.
