I'm inspired to complete all the 4 modules of this course because of relevant information and real life data adapted for instruction and practice. The courses were well delivered by the instructors and assessments very challenging to develop requisite proficiency in learners and not just knowledge acquisition.

After completing this course, I can now say that I have learned everything I will ever need to learn about excel in my personal and professional life. Just one advice for all, do not skip Practise Quizes since they help a lot in retaining knowledge. It was indeed a wonderful journey with the course instructor.

This course was both exciting and surprising. I did not know that I could have done so much with excel. The Instructors were very good at explaining in details, thank you to all of them. I will de downloading this course on my personal Laptop so I can continue to practice at home to build my excel skills.

This is an excellent course, and my excel skills progressed considerably with each level. The advanced level introduces several functions and features that are a little difficult to grasp. Additional optional exercises or practice examples would be extremely beneficial for those who want to learn better.

A very useful set of skills for persons who have to work with data analysis to create value and aid business decisions. I would advise all to go through the whole specialisation. There's new things to learn even for the most learned users of Excel. I enjoyed it and found it adequately challenging.

I personally think that the topics of week 5 and 6 should be elaborated properly especially OFFSET function. On the other hand, this specialization was quite insightful as I had no idea about the excel prior to the start of this specialization and now I am proud that I chose this specialization.

All the courses were completely incredible! I am pretty satisfied! They are excellent teachers, and everything is very well explained. There is no way you could doubt about something. Furthermore, whether you have certain mathematics and programming knowledge, then it would be easier for you.

This Course provided me with one of the best learning experience that I had faced. It provided challenges at quite a good level. This helped me not just to solve the problems but to think for different ways to solve problem so that I must know easiest as well as lenghty method for the same.

Fantastic course. Very well structured, introduced and presented. Some of the functions presented may be even already known and utilized, but this course gives a structured way to create excel worksheet, and teaches the potential of many functions nearly unknown. Thanks to the instructors.

The course has been expertly designed, and the engaging practice tests have made it truly enjoyable. It's a bit disappointing that the course has come to an end. A heartfelt "thank you!" goes out to the incredible individuals who created this course for us. Best regards

For me, Advanced felt like going back to Essentials in some weeks, but in a good way. Format and Professional Dashboards are necessary, and the examples really gives you a hint of how you can present it. Array formulas are one of the most interesting things of this course, really useful.

While some of the excel formula were harder to follow (especially compared to the first 3 courses of the specialisation), the videos were very informative and helpful. Thank you tutors for the course, I am now much more confident in using Excel in both school and professional settings.

This particular course is awesome. Everything seems to be challenging at first in comparison to the first three courses but the experience is absolutely worth. Push yourself over the edge just a bit and you'll soon regret that the course ends so quickly. Highly recommended.

I recommend it to all students, it will be useful for both work and personal purposes! Ideally, they should take the courses starting with Essentials, I thought I knew a little about Excel but I was surprised by some basic functions that I was able to add to my portfolio.

Great course content. Enjoyed the videos because I prefer watching videos over reading. The practice quizzes and assessments that come with workbooks are also a great way to consolidate each week's content and give the learner a chance to practice with real data.

very good course recommend people to have this. but ensure you have basic knowledge of the excel before joining this course.

From course point of view practice sheets should be explained for little more complex problems so that understanding the concept is easy.
