Great class, helpful instructor; I would recommend to someone who lacks experience with Excel and finds themselves needing to use it at work. The great thing is you can retake the class within 6 months for a refresher.

    The instructor was amazing - the content was well made, in an order that made sense and easy to follow. The instructor's timing was spot on - it was clear she had done this many times before. She was helpful, patient & kind. This class went by surprisingly fast for as long as it was because of how structured the agenda was. I will be taking other courses here.

    The course was overall good. Although the booklet they gave out did not exactly correlate with what we were doing so it made it a little hard to take notes.

    This class was really good and I really liked the Instructor. Oddly when we Registered we thought we were registering for Mr. Garfield's class but ended up being Pete and we were pleased! When we register for Excel #2 we hope that we get Pete again and not by accident this time : )

    Great class-- I took this class to learn some of the basics that I never learned; which was consequently slowing me down on the advanced functions I execute daily. Perfect for beginners and self taught users.
