FAQ
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

Reviews
I was using to Apigee at work but some of the concepts were not clear. This course taught me Apigee concepts that I was missing out.
Good course. The lab wor didn;t actually end up with a tangible output...I'd have liked to have seen us pull from the firebase database.
Brief but to the point. Tells what API developers need to hear ( maybe listen) and gives enough pointers where to refer to the docs. A great starter course for APIGEE journey.
Great course and great instructors. This is an amazing course for people starting with Apigee and wants to learn basics first.
