The best excel course out there. I rarely leave reviews, but after completing this course I felt obligated to leave one. Enrique is an amazing instructor and explains everything very well. Not only were the videos great but the practice projects and practice exam were extremely helpful. A great course if you are studying for the MOS-201 exam and even the 211 exam (if you pair this course with learning the very few new functions/tools that were added for the 211 exam)! I would even recommend the course if you just want to get better at excel. Overall, the best Udemy course I've taken.

By Robert Bruce Chernetsky on 2/16/2026

The material in this course is informative and well structured. However, the frequent repetition of fillers words (such as actually) can be very distracting. Minimizing these verbal habits would enhance clarity and improve the overall learning experience. Due to this, I will be unable to watch any more courses by this instructor which is a shame because he provides good information. After watching 1000’s of YouTube videos, I have a very low tolerance for many filler words.

By Rajinder Dhillon on 10/6/2023

This was a well structured course. And everything was very well explained. I've been using Excel for more than 20 years and I was still learning something new. You can not beat a well planned course like this one, to learn a subject matter. And this course brought to light how much I didn't know! I particularly liked the big test at the end which enabled you to check how much you remembered. Result; there are probably a few things I need to brush up on again before take the MS Excel Expert exam! There is only one criticism I did have, the instructor goes quite at a pace and I found myself 'constantly' rewinding 5 seconds and more, trying to keep up with the instructor performing the same steps he is on your own matching file. So, completing each section/task just took a lot longer. And that is coming from somebody who is pretty competent on using Excel!

By Gjorgi Varelov on 2/13/2023

Great match for what I needed to know about the exam. Topics covered very well and plenty of advice on getting the most out of functionality that Enrique explains in this course, so he's not only preparing you for the exam but you'll get valuable lessons for day-to-day usage of Excel features taught in this course. And yes, I passed the exam, strong 880 out of 1000.

By Basel M Dajani on 1/10/2023

This course has been so helpful and nothing short of amazing! Before taking this class I was enrolled in an online CISA 316 class (Intermediate Excel) at my local community college and it never taught or helped me as much as this class did not even a little. Before taking this course I didn't pass the exam twice but after taking this course I passed with a great score as Enrique covers almost everything you need to know in great detail and effort to not just pass the MO-201 Excel Expert exam but learn Microsoft Excel in general. All I needed to do was study all his lectures and I even repeated studying all his lectures a few times to master the material. When I did have a question I would just post it on the Q&A and receive a reply in a few hours by his teaching assistant which helped a lot. All in all, I am so grateful for Udemy and finding this course.

By Vugar Mammadov on 8/30/2022

I would say this course is amazing and a great choice especially for those preparing for the MO-201 exam. First of all, I do not want to be unfair to others, but I would like to state that I can say that it is the best, and not only in the Udemy platform, but also in all courses that serve this purpose. I would also like to thank Enrique Ruiz for his excellent teaching and Franck Binde for his tireless support. Thanks a million Enrique and Franck to both of you that I got the certificate by collecting 850 out of 1000 points required to become a Excel Expert

By Alexander Mascarenhas on 8/6/2022

I was recently certified as a Microsoft Excel Expert and this course was critical to making that happen. Enrique did a great job of walking me through all of the skills measured on the exam syllabus. Using these skills to work through the Airbnb project was beneficial. I did my best on the practice exam and then worked through the solutions with Enrique's videos. I ended up encountering similar questions on my GMetrix practice exams and my actual exam. This course was an amazing experience, and I can definitely see myself using Maven Analytics to learn about other applications such as Microsoft Power BI. Thank you for your help.

By Melanie Luchmun on 8/2/2022

This course is pertinent to MOS Excel Exam. The explanations are clear and to the point. Practice questions at the end and Gmetric were of great help. You don't have much time to think during exam so one should make sure to master the underlying concepts of everything that is covered in this course since exam questions can be tricky. I passed the exam yesterday on the first trial. Thanks you very much Enrique .

By Pedro Silva on 7/1/2022

It was nice, I enjoy the course and felt good with my Excel knowledge. I learned a few tricks and better and faster ways to do certain things. It took me 61 minutes to complete the test, there was only one task I could complete (consolidate), and two task my solution was not 100% accurate. So, I have to practice certain areas and features I do not use frequently.

By Olalekan Kazeem on 12/15/2020

I passed my Excel Expert exams 4 days after finishing this course. It's really comprehensive (and my advice is even if you are not doing the exams, this course is still a great material for learning Excel). Communication was clear and explanation was also elaborate (he even covered topics that are definitely not in the exams) My only complaint is, i wish we had 2/3 exercises instead on just one. But if you want to pass MS-201 Exam, make sure you go over this course (and take your time to re-watch some skills areas). Thanks Maven
