Really well done! You kept me interested and motivated, and that's not easy to do!

I enjoyed the balance of instructional videos and hands-on exercises, and I'm excited to try the Intermediate now.

Excellent, course with very good explanations and excellent material, however the questionnaires are much more difficult than the practical ones and it would be good to have feedback from experts to be able to do it better.

I would say this course is really for people with absolutely zero exposure to excel.

Nevertheless, it is extremely clear, and taught in a step-by-step manner. The exercises were especially good at reinforcing what was taught

Most of us are self taught in Excel and miss out various important things that make the use of Excel more time consuming. Its important to fill these gaps of essential areas. This course is well structured and very useful.

Was a very useful course, Dr Yvonne Breyer was extremely helpful. A few things that need to be fixed up, like a practice quiz having 2 correct answers, and a few things not covered in videos, but overall it was excellent.
