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.

I believe they charge a monthly subscription fee and then you can take unlimited classes. I thought Dennis Taylor was a good instructor.

It was ok but I didn’t learn anything I couldn’t have learned for free on YouTube.

I've taken several Lynda.com courses and I would say they're worth the money. Their videos are very concise and can be a good introduction to learning something.
