"I had done extensive COBOL programming back from 1987 till 1990. This refreshed that memory and brought back all that I had learnt then. I look forward to getting back into COBOL programming again. Thanks to this course, I have been able to get a great refresher!"

Good introduction and pace was perfect for me, for completness I was a COBOL developer many years ago, however, a great primer. That said unless you have some prior programming experience (any language) you may struggle.
