I learned so much and filled in the blanks from what I did not know from being self-taught in Excel. I feel so much more confident with Basic Excel and I can accomplish my everyday tasks faster and more efficiently.

There are always some ribbons, keys and tasks at the program you are working at that you don't know anything about. This course gave me the tool to explore through all those unknowns to be a better operator in Excel.

Wonderful course! Even if you know certain bit of Excel beforehand, you'll learn a lot more through this course. The practice challenges are easier at the start and start getting more challenging as weeks go through.

I very much enjoyed the different styles of learning that were afforded throughout this course. My favorite was probably the end of course exams in which you were able to reinforce everything that you just learned.

This course was very well developed and presented. It starts off very basic but it's useful that they are making sure you've seen everything and that you get started doing things the right (and most efficient) way.
