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.

Short videos and quick tests are the best solutions for people who get bored/distracted easily!

P.S. Nicky speaks so clearly that you can practice your English pronunciation with her xD
