Yes it's not enough just self-learning at work as there are so many tips and tricks that can be used.

I also better understand how Excel 'thinks' so I know why things aren't working the way I thought they should.

I love the way they outline the courses and the practice sessions. It is good to directly practice what we have learned from the videos. They offer the courses in small chunks and make me easier to get the idea.
