Good course to get the basics. I thought that I had an intermediate level and decided to do this test as a refresher session, but I ended up realizing that I was missing A LOT of the basics from Excel.

I thought the course was very well done. It catered to the beginner users and I thought it should. I will be taking the additional courses to see how far my learning of Excel can go, but so far so good.

Buen curso, efectivamente pude repasar de manera rápida algunos puntos básicos del manejo del Excel. Si usas Excel en tu dia a dia podría ser bastante básico y recomiendo realizar un nivel más avanzado.

The course was definitely 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.
