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

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.
