Probably the best hands-on way to learn about the software. Thanks to the interactive learning methods used by the course instructors, who made it so easy. Linkedin skill assessment test too, seemed like a piece of cake after this course :)

Very Methodical and very well explained and planned out.

Though, I knew Excel little bit, like many others, it cleared out my basics for good.

I'll recommend everyone to go thru it at least once, even if you're not working majorly in excel.
