Course Evaluation
Tell Seba which course or certification you’re weighing and against which goal. It returns a DO / DON’T / TIMEBOX verdict scored on 6 dimensions, plus a week-by-week plan if it’s worth your time. Billed per run.
A straight verdict, not a sales page summary
DO / DON’T / TIMEBOX
Seba commits to a clear call — do it, skip it, or do it with a hard timebox — instead of listing pros and cons and leaving the decision to you.
Scored against your goal
It pulls your target role and weighs the course on goal alignment, recruiter signal, time, opportunity cost, risks and portfolio output — not generic ratings.
A plan, not just a yes
If it’s worth doing, Seba returns a 4-12 week plan with weekly deliverables. If not, it names a better alternative and why.
Just name the course
No spreadsheet, no research rabbit hole. Send the course or cert and your goal in Telegram; the verdict comes back as a file, billed per run.
The 6 dimensions Seba scores
The same checklist a sharp career coach runs before saying yes.
- Goal alignment — does it move you toward the target role or sideways?
- Recruiter signal — what a hiring manager thinks seeing it on your CV
- Time & effort — the real weeks × hours/week commitment
- Opportunity cost — what else that time could buy you
- Risks — outdated content, weak brand, or too basic for your level
- Portfolio output — does it produce a demonstrable artifact to show?
- Provider reputation — brand strength and content recency, checked live
- Verdict & plan — DO / DON’T / TIMEBOX with weekly deliverables

Frequently asked questions
What does the evaluation cover?+
Six dimensions: goal alignment, recruiter signal, time and effort, opportunity cost, risks, and portfolio output. Seba ends with a DO / DON’T / TIMEBOX verdict and a plan.

Reviews tell you if people liked the course. Seba tells you whether it moves you toward your specific goal, how recruiters read it, and what the time is worth — then commits to a call.
What does Seba need from me?+
The course or certification and your target role. If your goal isn’t clear, Seba asks once. It can check the provider’s reputation and recency live before deciding.
What if the answer is no?+
Seba says so directly and names a better alternative with justification — so you don’t spend weeks on the wrong thing.
