I liked how the course covered the basics of IMO conventions and codes, and the instructor provided some great examples of how they're used in the industry. One thing that really stood out to me was the section on cargo securing - it was really interesting to learn about the different methods and techniques used to ensure safe transportation. The course materials were pretty good, but I thought some of the videos could be updated. Overall, it was a good course and I learned a lot, but there were a few areas where it could be improved.
