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 learned a lot. I had an older version of Excel, which made some of the course difficult to follow; but, otherwise, the instructors explained everything very clearly.
