Excellent course- as a marketing professional I appreciated being able to understand in better detail (conceptually and mathematically) the concepts that I've been applying broadly in pricing work in the real world. Adequately challenging and engaging!

This course is dense...loaded with terms...theory...examples. At the same time it is hugely interesting, makes you sit up and work out the problems. I hugely recommend this course for everyone related to buying and pricing.

I'll definitely recommend this course as it gives you the basic structures to learn about the pricing fundamentals, like what cost and margin are and how to calculate them etc... it is also well explained, very thorough.

The course is great. The last business case study was challenging and fun.

Unfortunately, I met a learner who is irresponsible, marking my final business plan with a 0, whereas the other 2 learners marked 95%/100%.

Great course for everyone working in pricing with the basics that you need to know. Very well structured. I work in an industry with double marginalization and it was great to get some theoretical insights on it.

A great refresher course that allowed me to get back into the pricing calculations with ease. It can be challenging if you are not familiar with the statistical calculations.
