This exercise begins with: Je fais un métier  -- que -- j'adore : je suis docteur .
Yes, I can understand that que in this sentence refers to the noun "un métier", and the fact that it's a noun, means you use que & not ce que. The explanation I read on kwizik's lesson about these relative pronouns, said that you'd only use ce que if you were referring back to a "whole idea", a clause with a verb. Well, there is a verb in the first part of this sentence: fais.
The doctor could be referring to the whole
idea that he does a job (there's a verb), & this is what he adores (?)
So then, wouldn't you say: je fais un métier ce que j'adore.
He adores the fact that he does a job.
- I'm still not clear about whether to use "que' or "ce que". The verb "fais" makes me think of using ce que, and not just que."

Some of your examples in this lesson sounded like nails on a chalkboard, so I did some research and would like to point out some needed corrections. (Note: I don't know if the British speak as in your examples, but Americans don't.)

Here is a link discussing whether "none" takes a singular or plural verb which corroborates my viewpoint. I used some of their examples. - https://www.thesaurus.com/e/grammar/none/

The rule is that if the word "none" is referencing a singular thing, then it takes a singular verb. If instead it is referencing plural things, then it takes a plural verb. So the following examples should be corrected.

The girls are going out tonight, but none (of them) ARE taking the train. ("girls" is plural)

None of your dresses FIT me. ("dresses" is plural)

None of his books ARE interesting. ("books" is plural)

Out of all the lies you told, none ARE believable.  ("lies" is plural)

None of them ARE interesting. ("them" is plural)

The following is an example of singular "none".

None of the pizza IS left. ("pizza" is singular)

However, none of the pizzas ARE left. ("pizzas" is plural)

Hope that helps.

Note: One of the examples at the link that I provided above is inaccurate. "None of the members ARE going." ("members" is plural, but they treat it as singular which is wrong)

One more: "Out of all of us, none ARE going to the meeting. ("us" is plural) For the same reason, the following is plural: "None of us ARE going to the meeting." ("us" is plural) (If you change "us" to "we", it may be easier to hear, although I hear it loud and clear with "us": like nails on a chalkboard!)

Couldn't you say "même les personnes les plus puissantes du monde"?

Why is "les filles dont je pense sont géniales" - wrong?

parler de? 

Sometimes dont is used and in this case à qui/auxquelles
