Very good fundamental Excel course, good to people with no or very limited experience with Excel. Also good for people with lots of experience, who can learn basic skills that often ignored in daily work. Anyway, a good start in becoming a Excel guy from 0.

This course is helpful for anyone who has just started using excel and knows nothing about it. This course covers all the basics and helps you learn from the scratch. If you already have basic knowledge of excel yet this course will help you fill the gaps.

Brilliant course - worth every minute spent. I consider myself a good excel user, but there were many tricks that I have learned - and also some areas where I was not confident got clarified as well - eg charts.

I can only recommend this course to everyone.

Its a good course! I just wish the test pages weren't so "click sensitive" in the multiple choice areas, as it seems answers can change on you without you realizing it if you click somewhere else on the sheet. That part was annoying and very frustrating.
