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.

Amazing course, very informative, I always felt the warmth from the instructors. Before this, I always thought that I was good at Excel basics but I was clearly wrong. The motivation that the course gave me was essential to my learning.

Really enjoyed the course. This course is really basic and cumbersome but necessary for digital natives. Some quizzes were challenging some were really straightforward. But definitely felt change in my behaviour towards excel and its UI.

Great course, definitely would recommend to others, the teaching is a good pace, its neither too fast now is it slow. Being an Indian I was a little skeptical I would follow the accent or not, but it was very easy to understand as well.

It was interactive and fun. Never a dull moment. It was paced right and divided into segments that were easier to digest and understand. I know Excel but only bits and pieces. Now, I feel like I can take on any jobs that require Excel.

Definitely a great exposure to the Microsoft Excel. The course goes through the definite details regarding the essentials of excel and over that they give much needed complex assessments to get the excel setups rooted up in the brains.

Very good course with really helpful exercises and videos. Unfortunately the way of grading in the exercises is strange. Nevertheless I really recommended it in order to refresh your knowledge in Excel and learn some important details!
