Great course and very easy to follow explanations. I liked specially the Practice Challenge. I recommend it for people with no previous knowledge of Excel and for people who want to revise basics or learn a few tricks.

Everything is introduced step by step, and the practice videos are very helpful. Practice videos not being long and having a small quiz afterwards help us to learn more effective. Thanks to everyone taking part in this!

This is a wonderful class and what I like most is the tedious class challenge, quiz, and final exam. It is really challenging and extremely effective in implementing all that's been taught for each session of the model.

The video lessons are short, but enough to teach the basics. Everything is well organized so you will not be lost. I thought I already knew the basics of Excel before taking this course. However, I still learned a lot!

Even though originally I thought I didn't need it, I learned quite a lot, increased my confidence and filled a lot of gaps of things. Not as "Basic". Recommend it for anyone who believes to be at an intermediate level.

Muy práctico y lo curioso es que usas casos de la vida real como data para practica. Además, de que te ayudan las mismas preguntas el poder contestarlas, dándote una pista para lograrlo.

it was a very helpful course for me as it helped me to learn very basic things about excel, which on the surface may not seem very significant but act significantly when we apply intermediate or expert skills on excel.

Really loved the course, found many small things that were right under the nose yet never used them. Prashan and Nicky did a great job preparing the content and delivering it, Will surely take another course from them.
