Muy bueno, grandes conceptos, lastima que no este en español -fue algo difícil seguir el paso a los temas con mi ingles oxidado-. Aprendí algunas herramientas que no había visto y me pareció interesante la parte de como imprimir.

É um curso muito bem organizado.

Apesar de ser básico é muito completo, prático e fundamentado. Os desafios de cada semana são maravilhosos, coloca realmente o estudante para praticar, aprimorar e dominar os recursos do programa.

Great introductory course for false beginners. Learnt the "good" way to do basic things in Excel, and how to save time. Especially liked the way the instructors used a story with "Sean". Would have been nice to see Sean, though.

I found this helpful to refresh some things that I already knew but may not use often. It also taught a few shortcuts and things that I had not learned before. I would recommend for anyone who is just starting to work in Excel.

Really good course, lessons are short bite size, not too technical. Even set you weekly practise work challenge to improve your skills. Lecture who take the course and brilliant.

Course is 6 week, you could take it in maybe 3/4.
