This course is very good

It is definitely a good Idea - especially if working in or planning to work in, maritime operations, ship management, or safety compliance.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course

I undertook the course while working in a fast-paced environment. Six-months were enough to not just to read to pass the assessment, but majorly to understand the aspects of the topics covered.
