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.

I am glad I took this course in Basic Excel even though I have used Excel in my previous jobs 10 years ago. This was a refresher course and I learnt some new features which I was not aware of.

Even though I used to think I knew all about the basics, it turns out I didn´t. This course taught me that self-learners nly get to a point and that being curious and disciplined pays forward.

Excellent course. Can't wait to jump into the next level. Using the free month trial of Office 365 to take the specialisation since the online and non-subscriber software doesn't quite cut it.
