Very good teaching of fundamentals. Everything was explained in a really structured manner. Final assessment was like cherry on the cake as it helped in revisiting what has been taught over the weeks.

Really well done! You kept me interested and motivated, and that's not easy to do!

I enjoyed the balance of instructional videos and hands-on exercises, and I'm excited to try the Intermediate now.

This was a great course to take. Very easy to understand. I've used Excel for many years and very familiar with many of the items discussed but was still able to learn things.

Great course! The only slight annoyance was that some of the videos cut off/stopped prior to their full completion. Other than that, very well put together and easy to follow.
