    Anonymous review on 4/9/2018
    The course was structured well and the content was very applicable to a business setting, however, I don't think it should be labelled as 'advanced', but rather Intermediate pt.2. Additionally the instructor didn't seem entirely confident teaching the content, and we moved extremely slowly through each segment due to mistakes she made (which participants taking the class had to correct her on regularly). Because of this, we were not even able to complete the final project exercise, which I was looking forward to...

    I attended the one day Advanced Excel Power Users Level 3 course taught by Karen M. and it was amazing! I have used Excel for over 10 years while working in financial services, yet was never formally taught the application. So while I have used vlookups, hlookups, pivot tables and various functions to analyze large sets of data I was still hesitant to attend this class fearing it would be too advanced. So glad I decided to sign up - the pace of the course was perfect. Karen explained things in a way that made it easy to understand and follow along. I liked how she would continue to repeat the "quick tips" so they would stick in your head and by end of day you were using them to work thru the application. This is a great course for someone who is very familiar with Excel but wants to learn how to use Excel more effectively & efficiently to analyze large sets of data (e.g, nesting of functions, indexing, recording & editing macros, functions other than the typical SUMIF, etc.). Great course and would definitely recommend.

    I thought this class was a wonderful overview of ways to improve your efficiency in using excel and touched upon some Macros and match index examples at the end. The teacher was good and it was only me and one other person so we were able to ask a lot of questions.
