I love the way they outline the courses and the practice sessions. It is good to directly practice what we have learned from the videos. They offer the courses in small chunks and make me easier to get the idea.

Ha sido realmente útil. He aprendido funciones que parecían simples y no lo habría podido llevar a cabo sin los exámenes por temas y sin el repaso final del "FINAL ASSESMENT". Se lo recomiendo a todo el mundo.

Everything is explained clearly. For sure it is just entry step course to Excel but good one. Problem is, it could be covered more things, I was finishing every week in a day. So materials are easy and little.
