A very good and informative course. It would certainly be essential not only to revise what you already know but also discover new and fascinating things that you do not know.

A very good team of instructors.

This course is a must. It starts off with very basics of Excel but I got to learn a lot of tools I was unaware of. As you progress through the weeks, you find yourself working through sheets more efficiently.

Excellent, friendly, and simple without being patronising. Took me through step by step, but didn't cover the same thing twice. I'll keep doing these courses, and already feel much more confident with excel.

This has been one of the BEST Excel courses I've taken! The final kicked my butt but the course is in-depth and since I'm a hands-on learner, I love that you can practice with the video and on your own time.

Excelente, hay muchos detalles que son básicos que se dan por sentado y que en este curso se refuerzan, además de que se aprenden algunos trucos que cuando eres autodidacta probablemente no hayas aprendido.

I enjoyed this so much. The lessons are great, the questions are great and even challenging. If you ask me, this is a masterclass for Excel. You can't perfect them all if you did not master the application.
