The faculty explained this course in such a simple and relaxed approach! Let me call this experience as 'absorbed the content' rather than 'learn the content'. I am using all the concepts right from day 1 of this course in my working sheets.

Probably the best hands-on way to learn about the software. Thanks to the interactive learning methods used by the course instructors, who made it so easy. Linkedin skill assessment test too, seemed like a piece of cake after this course :)

Very Methodical and very well explained and planned out.

Though, I knew Excel little bit, like many others, it cleared out my basics for good.

I'll recommend everyone to go thru it at least once, even if you're not working majorly in excel.

the course starts from scratch. I learned the basic terminologies of excel. This course walks you through how a beginner would see excel and get started from the basics. If you are entirely new to excel I would highly recommend this course.

While I already had some experience working with Excel, I found this course invaluable for brushing up on some of its most essential tools and for removing quite a few blind spots. The course was also exceptionally well done didactically.
