Fantastic course! Very detailed and hands-on practices. I could barely use Excel before taking the course, now I just got 100% correction on my final assessment. Everyone who works in an office should take this course!

Excellent course to review the basics of Excel when you need to use it without having learned it and/or refresh this knowledge with new versions of Excel. Congratulations to the designers and professors of this course.

The video lessons are short, but enough to teach the basics. Everything is well organized so you will not be lost. I thought I already knew the basics of Excel before taking this course. However, I still learned a lot!

Even though originally I thought I didn't need it, I learned quite a lot, increased my confidence and filled a lot of gaps of things. Not as "Basic". Recommend it for anyone who believes to be at an intermediate level.

Muy práctico y lo curioso es que usas casos de la vida real como data para practica. Además, de que te ayudan las mismas preguntas el poder contestarlas, dándote una pista para lograrlo.

it was a very helpful course for me as it helped me to learn very basic things about excel, which on the surface may not seem very significant but act significantly when we apply intermediate or expert skills on excel.

Very well explained and a detailed course to help understand the basics of Excel. Perfect way for a novice to go about learning about Excel. Got the chance to learn a lot, in-spite of having been using Excel for years.

Really loved the course, found many small things that were right under the nose yet never used them. Prashan and Nicky did a great job preparing the content and delivering it, Will surely take another course from them.

The best to start from basics. Many of us might be using excel but were not aware of some basic function which excel provide, by this course I can now use excel efficiently. Hoping to learn more in this specialization.

I thought I knew the very basics of excel and soon learned that I didn't know much. Course 1 really upped my skills on the very basics. I can't wait to complete the next 3 courses and see what else my brain can retain!

Despite the fact that I consider myself to be an intermediate level Excel user, I learned lots of helpful tips and tricks from this course. Well worth the time to build a stronger foundation than I had when I started.

Great course, provides solid base for any new Excel user, and can very well serve as a review of the basics for any user already familiar with excel, as a prologue for further training on more complex functionalities.

The essentials of Excel has thought me how to extract more information, sort out relevant information and to highlight data from charts that I use everyday at work.

It lays down a solid foundation for further learning.

Un curso donde se aprende no solo la plataforma de excel, sino, también enseñan a usar atajos y comandos eficientemente, los ejercicios prácticos te dan mas destrezas y es mucho lo que se aprende con cada evaluación.

I enjoyed this course.. It was straight forward and easy to follow. The videos were the right length, it was long enough to explain the excel function but short enough so as not to be boring, Definitely recommend it
