If you know Excel, the first course may not be that useful, however, you have to complete all the weekly quiz for grading purposes. If you are just starting out Excel, this is an absolute wonderful course.

It's all in the title. Covers important basics throughout and while I knew a lot of things already, it was covering that stuff I didn't know in order to create a more solid baseline for continued study.
