I loved every bit of this course, an added knowledge is not a waste of time. I'm glad I embarked on this journey of learning Microsoft office

By Peter Anthony Palmisano on 3/5/2025

So far yes, I LITERALLY know zero on how to do much of anything on a computer and it is intimidating and can be frustrating. So far its like a course for dummies which is PERFECT for me to understand. I love the visual navigation explanations.

By Abosede Omolayo on 2/6/2025

I kept pausing it to apply the same and I got every step right, that makes me really excited.

Thank You, Simon Sez IT! I’m so excited to have completed the Microsoft Office 2021/365 Essentials Bundle course on Udemy! The content was incredibly well-structured, and the short, interactive quizzes combined with detailed explanations made learning truly enjoyable. One of my favorite aspects was the frequent small tests that provided immediate feedback, allowing me to review any topics I didn’t understand or forgot. Throughout the course, I felt supported and inspired. I’m proud to be among the top students who successfully completed this course! If anyone is considering starting an online course, I wholeheartedly recommend Simon Sez IT’s programs. This was an amazing experience and a great opportunity for growth! Best Regards Gabriella

got it but I did not download Excel 2021 the work version on computer which one it is. is not listed.

By Sara Cobb on 12/10/2023

This is the most informative and wonderfully written course in Excel I've ever taken! Thanks!

By Thomas Baker on 11/23/2022

The instructor's yodeling voice going up an octave and back down every three words was extremely distracting. What made it worse was that, because I got distracted, I had to rewind and listen to it all over again. Second thing was that about half the videos cut off halfway through the instructors last sentence.
