Great course, definitely would recommend to others, the teaching is a good pace, its neither too fast now is it slow. Being an Indian I was a little skeptical I would follow the accent or not, but it was very easy to understand as well.

It was interactive and fun. Never a dull moment. It was paced right and divided into segments that were easier to digest and understand. I know Excel but only bits and pieces. Now, I feel like I can take on any jobs that require Excel.

Definitely a great exposure to the Microsoft Excel. The course goes through the definite details regarding the essentials of excel and over that they give much needed complex assessments to get the excel setups rooted up in the brains.

Very good course with really helpful exercises and videos. Unfortunately the way of grading in the exercises is strange. Nevertheless I really recommended it in order to refresh your knowledge in Excel and learn some important details!

Although what I learn in this course may be a little bit easy, it is undoubtfully basic so that it is neccessary for me to have a good command of what I learnt from it. Exercise makes permenent. I'm preparing for the intermediate part.
