This was a lot of fun, challenging, and very practical. I was able to start implementing the new skills I learned at work after each learning module. Can't wait to take the advanced course! Thank you!

The course material and assessments were just right and very useful. The course is well structured and the instructors explain things so neatly that there are no doubts left after watching the videos.

The first 5 weeks were great but the last week, Week 6 on Macros, was terrible. Hence this poor rating. The assignments were much tougher than what was covered in the Videos and there was no help provided (see the Discussion Forum for numerous student complaints). I personally sent 4 emails to the staff asking for their help but never got a response even after 1 month. Had to struggle through and spent way too much time on the assignments.

In this day and age this training needs to be updated to reflect excel us on an Apple (Mac) computer. Some of the video moved way too fast and not enough information was covered, particularly for week 6. The exams did not reflect the actual content covered in the practice videos, practice challenge. This class in particular was much more challenging due to the poor training and examples provided.

I would have rated this course with at least 4 stars, if it weren't for week 6. The Content on the Macros was applicable up until the Relative Macros... This needs urgent updating for Office 365 and/or Microsoft Office 2019 at least. I tried to follow the videos and the challenge, but I encountered problems due this. I truly hope that there isn't such an issue in the Advanced Course...

Third Course out of 4. The lessons are good, yet the discussion board has been completely abandonned by any mentor or teacher. Therefore you will find only very little help by other student, or at the worst you will find most of the solutions of the challenges plainly given. It's pity as the lessons are well made but no one cares if the questions are unclear in the assessments.

It would have been better if the close up zoom screen (when the instructors are showcasing examples on excel) are NOT slanted. It was kinda frustrating to see every time the screen is zoomed in and it looks slanted, and not even.

The first two classes in this series were great! The class, the instructor went extremely fast through the practice material and questions asked on assessments were not discussed in the practice sessions. Would NOT recommend.

The assessments did not have enough feedback to know what you did wrong to help you fix your error and get it correct the next try. Took extreme amounts of time to do additional research to figure out certain errors.

First 2 course were very good but this course was very bad. Many things were not taught in the videos but were asked in practice test. This was very very frustrating.

As the course gets more complex, the course gets less detailed and less helpful. I think this program sacrifices learning efficacy for time efficiency.

This is very disappointing. Very little support given to mac users, unlike the previous courses. What a shame.

This class is not nearly as good as Intermediate I. It addresses more complex content but spends very little time doing so. The lessons are too brief for what it should be. The Practice Assignments and Assessments need to be reviewed and cleaned up. A lot of the instructions for the Assignments are poorly worded and confusing. The lessons show you a basic example and then you are expected to take that basic example and apply it to a much more complicated scenario without any additional instruction. I spent more time submitting reports to fix the content and address questionable quiz answers than I did actually learning the material. I am doubtful that this content is still being refreshed as a lot of the discussion forum is filled with unaswered questions from students going back years. It looks like the content was created in 2017 and hasn't been touched since. This was a very dissapointing class that fell well below my expectations.

The first two courses we excellent. Here they switched instructors and its absolutely horrible. Instructor moves way too fast, talks over instruction (she's clicking things in the background that apply to what she's currently teaching and not explaining that what she's doing is necessary to fully understand the concepts), etc. Then this first practice exam is so difficult that nearly everyone in the forums is struggling with it. There are people dating back 3 years who asked for help and got none. Some people have tried making whole columns to do calculations and then applying the answer to the worksheet, others have used simple formulas that don't work for everyone else. I myself have not been able to complete it. Here's the thing friends, there are 4 courses in this specialization and I complete the first 2 in a week. When everyone is struggling on the same thing, you know you aren't the problem anymore.

En algunas ocasiones se batallo con la reproduccion, los cuestionarios indicaban preguntas que aún no tocaba el tema hasta el siguiente video aparecía, al reproducir los videos no permite adelantar o atrasar por lo que tienes que reproducir completo . Le pongo una estrella ya que no es justo que en el certificado no aparezca mi nombre, cuando con esfuerzo y dedicación lo concluí.

Awful. Go someplace else to learn this. One teacher speaks so quickly you can't understand her (I am a native speaker of English). I am still completely confused as to how to use IF functions, and how to nest functions. I would not have passed if I hadn't used ExcelJet and Lydia for support info.

It is fine for week 1-5, then you will be totally lost in week 6, as the level suddenly jump from intermediate to advanced, while there is insufficient explanation and examples in the video. I passed my final assessment, but most of the questions covering week 6 are incorrect.

The course is not updated and there's no much assistance. Many exercises in the practice challenges are patched up and errors can be traced back to 2017 when the course was created.
Besides, in some video such as the last one in week 6 coding procedures are not clear.
