Answer -
Unfortunately it is difficult for me to recommend these courses without knowing more detail about the content.  The only title that appears generic in nature is How (NOT) to Buy Mutual Funds and Don't Buy Stocks based on P/E ratio alone; A Common Misconception about Stock Prices.
The others sound as if the material may be based on one persons opinion or is more detailed information than a beginner in investing may need.  For a beginner, I would recommend learning materials that are based on widely accepted principals of investing before learning detailed information based on opinion or overly complicated details. 2 books that I feel are good for beginners and capture the essense of widely accepted investment principals are "Asset Allocation", by Roger Gibson and "Investment Policy" by Charles Ellis.  Both are available at Amazon.com.  In addition to these, most of the best sellers on investing basics or mutual investing are good places to start as well.  I hope this helps.

at all thank you for this info & your help

but for more assurance i got to you the authors of the course that i listed above wish you take a look give your opinion
note: you said opinions of some experts but that courses not opinion i got it as a courses & tutorials

Answer
For a beginner to investing, I would still stick with books, etc, that talk about widely accepted investment theory instead of these individuals personal thoughts and ideas.  Unfortunately, I am very aware of any of the above mentioned so it is hard for me to guage their work.
