I've just started the course but I have been needing Excel training for years and have been putting it off and putting it off...I searched through all of the courses offered and this one looked like a good overview for beginners, the instructor is very warm and good at imparting information, I suspect I will learn all that I am hoping to and then some from this course.

By Melissa Frost on 9/28/2025

Very good. Highly instructive. A bit fast at times. Would have highly preferred a COLORED CURSOR so it was easier to see what the instructor was selecting. I liked the personal stuff, but a bit too much at times. Would take his courses in the future!

The way Sir teaches is Awesome. It's my first time learning Excel. I have completed 7 Sections only but I believe I am going to finish this Course within 2 Days. Thanks for this Awesome course Sir :)

I think the course and the material are well structured. But the explanations are not so clear, you write fast and then change the cell, cause of that you don't give time to check the formulas.

By Christina Yolanda Garner-Wages on 6/28/2023

This course helped me be more comfortable with using Excel. I learned the different operation in Excel. From formatting to adding background, calculating cells, learning. This course really reassured me that learning Excel is truly beneficial.

By Anonymized User on 3/30/2023

So far, so good. At times, it is a little fast for me, but I like how Todd repeats a lot as it helps to reinforce. I could not figure out how to slow the audio down so I can simply just back up and listen again. Look forward to continuing.

By Brian Jones on 2/18/2021

It's a little to fast for me, I am a true beginner. With that said I have taken another course that Todd offers and it was great.

By Jorge on 2/3/2021

Muy buen curso con ejercicios para realizar, la pronunciación del ingles del instructor es buena y entendible, a veces la pantalla donde el aparece cubre lo que realiza en Excel pero en si es muy buen curso para comenzar o refrescar los conocimientos.

By Melissa Arbuckle on 8/5/2020

Im finding this course helpful and easy to follow. Todd is interesting and not boring. His little bits of advice for learning are very helpful. I just struggle finding and getting into the files for the practice. Really enjoying
