Alex was great! He was friendly and patient, and provided excellent real world examples. I am often worried I would not be up to the task when registering for training, but this was perfect for my skill level and gave me the confidence to look into the next level up. Would recommend!!!

The course was great for me. It filled gaps in my head that i knew were there but couldn't work out what could fill them. The knowledge dropped in easily and I'm sure these key gaps that are now filled will remain filled with that knowledge. Thank you very much

It will be good if course outline is provided to the agency for reference. not the instructor's fault however, I was expecting more for newer and more complex Excel features for Advanced level (like advanced formula, POwerPivot, PowerQuery). The instructor was very thorough though.

A thorough and well stepped through course. I appreciated the set-up of the workpapers which allowed focus on the tasks and steps, rather than population/formatting of data.
