I am so very happy that i stuck with this course, dedicating time towards this course was a challenge. I learned so much that i didn't know before from just casually using Excel. I will definitely be using what i have learned so far in my personal use of Excel.

Quite challenging. I thought I am already good in excel, but taking the quizzes after watching the videos, I realized that there are many things that I don't know yet in using this spreadsheet. Thank you for the opportunity to learn and increase my excel skills.

Muy bueno. Aunque uno crea que conoce "lo básico" de excel, con este curso te das cuenta que hay mucho por aprender. Los videos son bastante digeribles y el hecho de que tengan bastantes prácticas después de los videos ayuda a aplicar lo aprendido. Recomendado.

I liked this course. It was helpful, easy to navigate, clear, refreshing and I also gathered a few hints, I wasn't aware of before. I am looking forward to continue to next levels, where I guess real challenge will begin ;)

Thank you and good luck to all of you!

Although I'm not a beginner I decided to take a step back and refresh my knowledge. I was shocked at how much I had either forgotten or didn't know about, so although there was a lot of subject matter I already knew of, I am so pleased I started at this level.

Excelente curso.

Só uma observação,caso você conclua o curso durante o período de avaliação ainda sim você não pode adquirir certificado sem comprar. Não gostei disso.

Excellent course. But certificate is not provided for free even during the trial period ,though

Even people who work with Excel every day may have gaps in their basic knowledge. This course fills in many of those blanks. The instructors are terrific, and the lesson plan (a small quiz after each lecture) makes for super fast progress. A great intro course!
