I had a good experience with this Microsoft Excel training course! Mark the trainer was exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and engaging, taking the time to explain complex functions and formulas in a way that was easy to understand. The pace of the class was well-managed, and there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions without feeling rushed. I left the session feeling much more confident, efficient, and equipped with time-saving shortcuts. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their spreadsheet skills!
good value for money, I understood notions that were very not clear to me. Thanks to Mark.
Very good communication and an excellent tutor.
Very happy with Mark's training ethos and training he provided.

A great pace for somebody just starting and never an issue with questions, and always had a good way of answering.
From knowing nothing to what I know now and in less than a day I would highly recommend as it was extremely useful, and has made my understanding of MP a 100x better. Thank you the trainer for the great lesson!
Excellent course, definitely the best 'power' course I have attended. The trainer was enthusiastic about the material and kept it relevant to our needs
