The course was defiantly more than I expected. It not only strengthened what I did know about Excel but it showed me several options that I was not using or haven't found. I would highly recommend it.

Very comprehensive basic course. The Final Assessment is really a thing if you mess up the first computations then surely you won't pass the exam.

This was well put together. You learn a small portion at a time and then test your skills on it and keep building on the skills you have learned.
