It covers a wide range of advanced Excel topics which has been valuable to my knowledge base. Pivot tables, index sheets, charts and workbook consolidation was all new to me. Found Jill being classroom based has been an all round better learning experience.

Duane was very helpful and went at a good pace providing great feedback and help to whomever required it. All the courses I've attended required no self learning, it was all shown then we would move on. maybe showing us then allowing us to do it ourselves would be beneficial for memory sake. However i know that takes more time.

I found this course really helpful to help discover new ways to use excel, in ways that I wouldn't be able to if I were trying to find them myself. Alex was a very helpful instructor who took the time to explain things well and answer any questions we had, as well as provide useful real-world examples to why we would do certain things.

Alex was a great facilitator, open to questions and used many examples across different industries to make things relatable. The detail & learnings on how the same data can be created & viewed in different ways is very helpful for anyone's end user and especially helpful when you acquire files developed by others and their spreadsheet development. Furthermore, this course helped me understand that Macro's aren't as scary as I thought and how to fix any errors or bugs.

Alex provided a fantastic training session. I'm feeling excited to test out my new skills - especially regarding functions I was already using but which Alex has taught us to how to push even further. I really appreciated the variety of context and how various functions and formulas can be applied for different solutions. Also the engagement with stories, questions and bits of humour throughout. Thanks so much

Instruction was very clear and would stop when students had questions and would repeat his steps multiple times. The course will be used in data analysis at my work and will be highly useful

Useful revision for the straightforward elements that underpin the advanced techniques. Good tips and tricks to set yourself up for efficient working. Good introduction to newer components in MS365 for Excel. Overall a good course, but will take me a lot of practice to implement!

this was a really helpful and informative course. the instructor was very charismatic and delivered instruction in a very digestible manner. Sean broke down the perceived barriers of excel (as in it's perceived as a hard thing to crack) and helped me see how procedural it could be. i found this course ignited my inner geek and i can't wait to continue learning about excel
