Our take
Based on the ratings of 2,387 students and a sample of their written reviews. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is a 9.3 hour, 126 lecture walkthrough of Microsoft Excel 2010, produced by Infinite Skills and distributed through O'Reilly Media. It starts at the very beginning, building a first worksheet, then works up through formulas and functions, with a chapter on Microsoft Web Apps and SkyDrive. Reviewers describe a slow build that rewards patience: one reviewer said the course felt slow to start before finding its footing on the more intermediate material.
Reviewers who already knew Excel still got something out of it. David Smith calls it a source of shortcuts that made him look like an office guru, and Kate Leuschen Millar and Joe Luna both call it a solid refresher for long time users. The complaints cluster around two things: Ryan Cuellar found the instructor's delivery a little flat despite thorough explanations, and Kevin Peverel-Cooper says the web-related material gets repetitive and rushed for a beginner. One student also wished for a single download of lecture notes instead of grabbing them one lecture at a time.
The elephant in the room is the version. This course covers Excel 2010 and was last refreshed in 2017, so anyone on a modern Microsoft 365 build will miss newer features. No formal prerequisites are listed, so treat All Levels loosely: it suits true beginners and people who want a refresher, not someone chasing advanced data modeling or current tools. At 4.5 stars across 2387 reviews, it holds up as a dependable, low pressure way to learn core Excel skills at your own pace.
Pros
- 126 short lectures you can pause and revisit whenever a formula trips you up
- Practice files let students follow along and redo each example themselves
- Reviewers say it works as a genuine refresher even for experienced Excel users
- Covers a full range from a first worksheet up through advanced formulas and functions
Cons
- Built on Excel 2010 and last updated in 2017, so newer Excel features are missing
- One reviewer found the instructor's delivery a bit flat despite thorough explanations
- The web-related material gets repetitive and moves too fast for beginners
Highly recommend this course even if you know excel pretty well. It teaches you lots of shortcuts and tricks to increase your productivity.
Listed as All Levels, but reviews suggest it fits true beginners and rusty intermediates best, not advanced users.

The video gets paused frequently

So far this is an excellant course. I get extremely busy and don't have much time to do much studying, but this is just what the doctor ordered.
