The course was defiantly more than I expected. It not only strengthened what I did know about Excel but it showed me several options that I was not using or haven't found. I would highly recommend it.

Short, high quality videos with detailed instructions that are easy to follow, even for total beginners. The tutors speak slowly and clearly so the language barrier is not an issue. Great for aspiring Excel monkeys like me. Keep climbing.

The faculty explained this course in such a simple and relaxed approach! Let me call this experience as 'absorbed the content' rather than 'learn the content'. I am using all the concepts right from day 1 of this course in my working sheets.
