good match. although i am an intermediate user of Excel, I still try and glean the things that I didn't know or was never shown from every course I take.

By Chris Allen on 9/16/2026

It is a good so far being a beginner to novice excel user. Some things are already known but learning new ways and trick to complete the same task. Upcoming sections will be learning new tasks completely.

By Abimbola Omotoyosi Olaleye on 7/27/2026

Excellent course! The lessons are clear, easy to follow, and beginner- friendly. I’m learning practical Excel skills that I can apply to bookkeeping and everyday work. I would recommend this course to anyone starting with Microsoft Excel.

By Maria Jooste on 6/26/2026

I am excited to see what I can learn, I thought I knew some of the basics , turns out there is so much I did not know, The instructor is clear and efficient

By Tina on 6/2/2026

THIS IS VERY BEGINNER-FRIENDLY! But, there are moments when I need to pause, rewind, and watch what he does a couple of times, because he does go pretty fast through some of it, and I think he assumes we know VERY basic Excel, which I can see if I didn't, that would be an issue. So it's beginner-friendly, but please know you need to use Excel before today, don't think your first day with Excel, and you can tackle this one. Navigation and methods you pick up after using it and getting used to it are helpful. Otherwise, it is very precise and to the point. He shows lots of functions very quickly, so be ready to keep up! Also, I have M365, and a lot of things in my ribbon and menu are different from his. Not sure when he made this, but it's June 26' and quite a few things have changed since recording. ie: I've paused to google search where to find things that he has on his ribbon that I dont to find out they are an icon and not a word anymore lol!

By Trent on 5/26/2026

Whether you have zero experience or want to master your intermediate to advanced excel skills, this is the absolute best course for you! The course is very short compared to multiple other excel courses I've taken, but it isn't lacking a single detail. Kyle's lectures are direct, to the point, and show you everything you need to know about the formulas. Absolute must have course, and I hope Kyle puts out more courses in the future.

Sir i am very happy with your class and practice material standards. My search since long time for excel learning ends here

By Yolanda Van Der Merwe on 5/17/2026

Halfway through and I've learned so much! I love that you can pause, try it yourself, go back to see where you're going wrong and then do it right. It's also great that there are several exercises in each, so you get to practice. Really enjoying this course!!!

By Ravi Kamal on 4/9/2026
