What Students Say About The Excel Basics Course

“Going back to Excel Basics? what more can I learn about the program?”

Well, I am glad that I did take this new course which is an absolute MUST for anyone who wants to understand the fundamentals of Excel. 

This is important also for people who have been using Excel for years.

Your new course has enabled me to reach a new level of sophistication and I thank you for that.

Dr. Shlomo Batsia

Having completed the Excel Basics course, I have updated formulas, data capture methods and analysis so that now it all works much more efficiently (both the spreadsheet and myself !!) 

I have also added some automation making it work for me rather than me working for it. 

I would highly recommend this course if you are just starting out, developing your skills or reviewing your current practice, it's a great place to start.  

Nikki McIntosh

When I went through the modules I found them easy to follow.

The sessions helped me think about correcting some bad habits that have crept in!
