The instructor's explanations of the different types of business rates, such as the Uniform Business Rate and the Small Business Rate Relief, were crystal clear and easy to understand. I particularly appreciated the case studies and examples of how business rates are applied in different scenarios. The course materials were top-notch, with relevant and up-to-date information that I could immediately apply to my work. I've already seen a significant improvement in my ability to advise clients on business rates, and I'm confident that this course will pay for itself many times over.

The course covered the basics well, including the different types of business rates and how they are calculated. I appreciated the emphasis on practical examples and case studies, which helped to illustrate the concepts and make them more relatable.

However, I do think that the course could benefit from more interactive elements and real-world examples to make it more engaging and relevant to students from different backgrounds.
