What people are saying

"Everything is well explained and detailed plus the pre-prepared downloadable exercises are a great help."

Kenneth Kludjeson

"I was able to learn a lot from this course and to do so at my own pace. I was able to review areas where I needed more time than someone more advanced than I. For the monetary investment, this is a great course for beginners."

David F. Wilson

"I enjoyed to course and it was presented in an orderly fashion with incremental information that gave an intuitive feel to the progression. Thank you."

John Brown

"The instructor goes slow, covers everything (even how to save, print, etc) and gives relevant examples. Great course for someone who has never used excel before or for people who want to make sure they know how to use every feature. Well worth the money as you will become more productive and efficient with Excel."

Leigh Ann Cross

"Course is well done and since you can go back and review at any time or after the course is done is helpful for us slow learners"

Rick Clarke

"The overall course has a nice progressive layout and the presenter knows what he is teaching."

Eric Cobb

"This material is very easily laid out and relevant. I have obtained many tips that will help me to become much more productive in my Excel use!"

Mark Carson

"I have some experience with Excel, but this course really helped me know the functions available in it and how to use them. The instructor explains the subject very patiently and clearly, so the student can follow along and master the details. "

Vikram Hegde

"I like the way the teacher structured the course and again for making the files available, so we could work on them together with him."

Brandon Silva

"Generally, I wouldn't find this type of course all that interesting. However, I have found in my current job search that it is a necessary part of my tech skill set in which to become proficient. So, I'm very appreciative that courses like this are offered, and taught by an extremely knowledgeable instructor, who explains lessons clearly and offers opportunities to practice the theme which he has just gone over. He was thorough, and not in the least bit condescending, which I can't say for instructors I have had in the past. So, thank you."

Mary Price

"It's informative & detailed enough without being overly drawn out. The presenter has given a thorough introduction to Excel for the prescribed audience. Although I am far beyond the audience level targeted by this Course, from this position, I can appreciate better the thoroughness and layout. Well done."
