Great introductory course to fill in the gaps in your knowledge. The teachers show details and terminology you might have missed in your learning previously, and it is great to fill those gaps for a more experienced Excel user.

Provide useful tips sufficient for general use of Excel. I found the Printing chapter especially useful as there aren't much organised information like this available. Love this and going onto the specialisation now. Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful course. So well produced and fun to work through! The information is broken down into small videos that cover a few related concepts, and then you take a quiz related to what you just learned. Great course!

The methods employed in this course are excellent, and they make it easy for me to pick up knowledge. The tasks were also quite beneficial because they helped me find new methods to grasp things better.

I greatly appreciate it.

Muy completo y de sencilla comprensión. Si has manejado Excel antes probablemente no aprenderás muchas cosas nuevas, pero siempre habrá algún detalle que desconocemos que se explica aquí que hará la vida con Excel más sencilla

Great. The course was structured to allow me to proceed at my own pace with plenty of practice exercises and many opportunities to test my learning. I will attempt the remaining courses in the Excel Skills for Business series.

This course is not only helpful for people with no excel skill to get into this field. It's also helpful for someone who has used excel for a long period of time and want to catch up have small quick skills for daily work use.

Excellent course! The most well put together, professional course I've done to date. Includes a lot of practice material with quizzes and tests that are just the perfect level of difficulty. Looking forward to the next one.

I decided to re-learn Excel, and I was shocked at how much I didn't know. You might think you're an expert, but these little things bring you down to earth. I enjoyed every bit of the course and loved the emphasis on practice.

Videos are rather short but very effective, and the activities do a good job of reinforcing what was taught in the lessons. The comprehensive assignement at the end of the course was absolutely fantastic and a real challenge.

It was a good course to gain basic understanding of excel. Excel is something which we all know bits and pieces of because for most of us, its a self learnt tool at some level. This courses helps in bridging some of the gaps.

I am an Advanced user of excel but as I have taught myself the use of excel on the job I was sure that I missed some smart applications and so it was. Thank you for the easy to follow classes and the well qualified teachers.

This was a very well thought out basic Excel lesson plan. Very thorough but still short and sweet videos. It's very straightforward and it helps that it explains why the choices you have made are wrong. Would 10/10 recommend!

This is a good course for beginners in excel and covers basic concepts in a well-defined manner. Although, I have used excel in my workplace extensively there are certain topics that I am not aware of and can be very helpful.

The entire series of excel courses is spectacular! I thought I knew how to use excel well, but this course showed me many things that I had no clue about! Excel is powerful and this course helps you grab a hold of that power.

I found this course very helpful for begginers and people that have been using excel but have some knowledge gaps. The videos are very easy to follow and they break everything down so that the student doesn't get overwhelmed.
