Wonderful content. I feel much more competent than prior to attending course. I thought I knew a great deal, but now I realise I had so much more valuable information to assist with my job using excel.

(5.00 out of 5) [ 13 November, 2023 ]

Duane spoke very clearly and his instructions were easy to follow. I would enjoy doing this course as a resit with him, so that i can obtain more of the information. so much information.

(5.00 out of 5) [ 13 November, 2023 ]

Absolutely amazing! So helpful, Duane was very great. The only challenge I had was working from a Mac and working out equivalent shortcut keys

(5.00 out of 5) [ 13 November, 2023 ]

This is a great introduction course, I have learnt some great keyboard shortcuts and I am looking forward to going over the intermediate and advanced courses this week. Will be a great refresher for me returning to work.
