The course is very interactive. You get to actually do the process whatever you have learnt and that is the best thing. It is not the course in which you watch the videos and make notes. You practice and that makes things permanent.

Me encantó el curso, porque a pesar de que ya sabía manejar excel de manera intermedia-avanzada, hubo muchas cosas que no aprendes sólo con usarlo porque no son de uso diario. Encontré muchos trucos y formas de eficientar mi trabajo.

Very beginning of working with Excel. Although almost all things are very good known and practiced, I have found something new, too. Very very nice material, great language, clear examples and excel videos. I am in love with Nicki :)

Awesomely structured and very good presentation. The flow was logical, understandable, and very accessible to beginners. The only criticism is sometimes the subtitles do not match certain words they're saying. But overall, great job.

I've used Excel for years at a pretty basic level. This course taught me things I never knew! From Auto-Fill to how to make charts and use formatting tools, it's been a great experience. Looking forward to completing the next level.

Exciting and challenging course, especially I am using Window 2013 which does not have the 2016 version of Excel. It is bit disadvantage, have to spend time to look for those relevant ribbons/function keys etc.

Anyway feel satisfied.

This is an excellent course as an introduction to Excel. Once in a while you might see a typo in the wording of the quiz problems but it's not a significant issue as meaning can always deduced from the context. Great course overall.
