Pros

Cons

- Barrier of entry: this course can be completed by anyone, regardless of their background before starting.
- Offline access: unlike most Excel tutorials, all of the training resources in this course can be accessed offline (although they have to be initially downloaded).
- The Lynda.com experience: the course is run through a subscription to Lynda.com. That same subscription grants access to volumes of supplemental information and additional lessons at no extra cost.
- The course is short. There are free courses that go much deeper into Excel's capabilities and uses.
- The course does not go beyond beginner concepts. Alone, it will not teach mastery of some of Excel's most advanced analytical tools and techniques.
