Very good teaching of fundamentals. Everything was explained in a really structured manner. Final assessment was like cherry on the cake as it helped in revisiting what has been taught over the weeks.

Although what I learn in this course may be a little bit easy, it is undoubtfully basic so that it is neccessary for me to have a good command of what I learnt from it. Exercise makes permenent. I'm preparing for the intermediate part.

The course is very interactive. You get to actually do the process whatever you have learnt and that is the best thing. It is not the course in which you watch the videos and make notes. You practice and that makes things permanent.

Me encantó el curso, porque a pesar de que ya sabía manejar excel de manera intermedia-avanzada, hubo muchas cosas que no aprendes sólo con usarlo porque no son de uso diario. Encontré muchos trucos y formas de eficientar mi trabajo.

Awesomely structured and very good presentation. The flow was logical, understandable, and very accessible to beginners. The only criticism is sometimes the subtitles do not match certain words they're saying. But overall, great job.
