I started this course hating and afraid of Excel viewing it as a necessary evil. The course, however, piqued my interest, while being well-paced and easy to follow. I certainly am excited now to continue with the other courses in the specialization.

Excellent course all round. Even with extended exposure to Excel, I was still able to learn so many things at the beginners level. The course is outlined neatly and gives the right amount of both theory and exercises to master the required skills.

El curso es bastante claro, los cuestionarios en ocasiones requieren que experimentes con Excel para ver comprobar que es lo que sucede con los datos y sus formatos. Recomiendo el curso es muy útil y todo lo que se enseña tiene aplicación practica

As mentioned at the start of the course, excel is a very large subject, and most of the time students are not aware of their blind spots. This course has been useful in showing me simple, but very useful tricks that I was not aware of previously.

Course was good. Although, I knew a number of things but there were still a lot of things that was actually left. I learned to manage data. At last, I will be able to excuse myself from long copying and pasting of formulas. Thanks for the course.

This is a great course for beginners and those who have self taught excel skills but no real depth of knowledge of the power of excel.

Very well presented, easy to follow along, plenty of tips and practice assignments to help build your knowledge.

Really Good Course, it very nicely takes you through the essentials of excel. I feel so much more organised now while looking at numbers. I am not just randomly clicking different parts of the software without any idea of what is going to happen.

Excellent course, I literally knew nothing of Excel before and this course provides you just with everything you need to start from scratch. I would recommend anyone attempting this course to have Excel's 2016 version as this is the one they use.
