Great course to get your basic skills up to scratch. What you learn is important for a university and work context. I would say it was a bit tricky to do this on a Mac (with different shortkeys etc), but for the most part it was all compatible. Thanks!

The questions for the assessments are too good. Not very easy and you have to put your head into it, think, and answer. The syllabus division is made in a way that it doesn't create too much pressure. Looking forward to start the intermediate courses.

I started with this course because, although I know and work with Excel, I really didn't know many simple functions and with this course I ended up knowing them. It focuses on the basics, as charts, headers, simple formulas and data analysis within.

This course helps me to comprehend the basics of excel, so far I've self-taught myself using excel and turns out I know nothing about it. This course covers thoroughly on what I should at least know in operating excel. Practice makes permanent y'all.
