### "My Review of edX" — 4.0/5

> **Moustafa Medhat** | *14 June 2022* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that the courses on edX are offered by accredited institutions like big companies like IBM or global universities like Harvard, not just anybody can publish a course on edX. Also, I love that edX contains specializations that consist of sub-courses that take me from the beginner level to the advanced level without needing to switch to another course.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't love the interface of edX as it is not friendly and doesn't encourage studying. The cost of the certificate is very expensive if I want to obtain it. Also, I face some issues with the subtitles as some of the content doesn't have any subtitles even in English.
> 
> My overall experience with edX is good but it is a little bit expensive.
