A brilliant course for beginners because the tutors explain everything completely and exhaustively. And a great course for those who already use Excel because one can find the fundamental theory here and find some new tips for his/her work with Excel

I've learned and practiced a number of different tools. Excel was always a process I wanted to get certified in and now I am. It's nice having this additional skill set in my tool kit. Thank you Coursera and Macquarie University for the opportunity.

Well-produced, bite-sized videos which made learning easy and convenient. Instructions were clear, and having the excel document to work concurrently with the video was immensely helpful. One of the best Coursera programmes I have attended thus far.

An excellent course for beginners. I started from nowhere near the basics and ended up with an amateur level of excel management skills. Demonstration and Instruction were clear and to the point. Thanks to the course co-ordinators and Coursera team.

I started this course hating and afraid of Excel viewing it as a necessary evil. The course, however, piqued my interest, while being well-paced and easy to follow. I certainly am excited now to continue with the other courses in the specialization.

Excellent course all round. Even with extended exposure to Excel, I was still able to learn so many things at the beginners level. The course is outlined neatly and gives the right amount of both theory and exercises to master the required skills.

El curso es bastante claro, los cuestionarios en ocasiones requieren que experimentes con Excel para ver comprobar que es lo que sucede con los datos y sus formatos. Recomiendo el curso es muy útil y todo lo que se enseña tiene aplicación practica
