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.

I can tell you this course is great for both refresher and for those just starting out to learn excel. I have been using excel for a while and attended courses on Data analytics but this stands out.

Very insightful and I enjoyed the teachers who made it very practical and little theory. I was self taught over a few years and this helped me to fill in a lot of gaps in my foundational knowledge.

the course is really basic. Most of the people already know this stuff, but everything is explained in an extremly simple way and there is always some small stuff that you don't know. Great course!

The best part of this course is that it makes you understand the logic of each of the excel commands.

Once you start the course, no way you will leave it incomplete.

Exceptional teaching methodology.
