Wanting to have a greater knowledge of Lightroom

For a novice Lightroom user, I'm wondering if the course, "Effortless Editing with Lightroom" offered by a company calling itself  "Expert Photography" and a photographer named Josh Dunlop is a good course to delve into. Any thoughts or advice?

"It does not take a lot of effort to start a new site and crank out a boatload of content, if all you are doing is copying your competition. With the photography market on the decline, a number of photography websites have already gone through their demises. And what’s left is being attacked by some very dishonest individuals and media companies that exploit search engines to move themselves up the ranks. These websites are copycats – they crank out content on a daily basis solely for traffic, they have no communities and they have no real following. One such website is ExpertPhotography.com. In this article, we will take a look at how ExpertPhotography shamelessly stole numerous articles from Photography Life and other websites, and how it quickly climbed the ladders of search engines, even managing to surpass the ranking of the original content."

 

I would recommend any information from recognised experts-
