Myself being a beginner at excel, I would recommend this course to professionals who have never used excel or those who want to reinforce their concept of working on microsoft excel.

Highly recommended for beginners to get a feel for excel.

Terrific refresher! I have used Excel for many years but with new releases and updates, there are always new short cuts and more efficiencies. This course brought me up-to-date on simplified formatting and charting. I highly recommend it!

Soy de Perú y el curso es muy completo. No solo te enseña habilidades necesarias para manejar Excel de forma profesional, también, en mi caso que mi lengua materna es el español, ayuda a mejorar tus habilidades en inglés. Muy recomendado!

This was an excellent course. It put into perspective many areas of Excel that I had no idea what the purposes were and also extended my self-taught knowledge of the program. The lessons were excellent and the practice exercises relevant.

Amazing course, very informative, I always felt the warmth from the instructors. Before this, I always thought that I was good at Excel basics but I was clearly wrong. The motivation that the course gave me was essential to my learning.

Really enjoyed the course. This course is really basic and cumbersome but necessary for digital natives. Some quizzes were challenging some were really straightforward. But definitely felt change in my behaviour towards excel and its UI.
