reviews

"[excel@acpd] helped me a lot as most of the topics are very relevant to my role and are very practical and easy to apply. The new knowledge acquired is an added skill that I wouldn't have gained on my own. The videos provided in some parts of the course are an excellent means of enhancing the learning experience because it provided practical guidance and easy-to-follow instructions."

Gerardo C

"Really good to learn new features and enhance knowledge when most experienced/skilled user in the office. Like having an Excel companion at work!"

"Tables were a revelation - did not use them before as remember them from old times when they were very static."
