Totally recommend Reo Training. I am half-way through the Electrical Design course and I do not regret taking it. The courses are good for any level, basic enough to understand, but also advanced enough to actually apply in real projects. The examples are very good and the fact that you can post any doubts or clarifications, was a cherry on top for me, almost like we are in a physical lecture.
