By implementing the tools that I'll walk you through, you will cutback on the time it takes to complete a task, getting back that 25%, and create more dynamic and efficient documents.

It is great course but because I took your excel, word and PPT course. I did not really need this course because I learned all of this already from there except Outlook but then again, I already knew those tips and trips except for one.

By Sudhindra Gururaj Karpur on 3/3/2023

Most of the contents were repeatition of earlier courses which I took related to MS Excel, Word and PPT. Still I very much enjoyed the way Kyle facilitates the course and bring out useful tips to increase our productivity. Thanks

I took some MS Office classes last year which covered much of the same material, but this one did a better job of explaining the why and illustrating the steps. Not as detailed a description but clearer, and more encouraging because it focused on time savers rather than learning every corner of the program

By Adam Pinner on 11/6/2019

Kyle picks some very useful tips in this course to help you set up and then speed up your work on a day to day basis. It is also a good taster of what else office can do and encourages you to dig deeper to see how you can make better use of these products.

I had some misgivings when I saw the first topic was PivotTables, which I have never used before, but the instruction is very clear and easy to follow. If I had to create a PivotTable now, I feel I could do it.

I were looking for a advanced techniques for office and the course seems so basic and the teaching method is unsufficently slow and a bit funny. Also pretty simple topic has been given sooo long.

By Jody B Robinson on 10/30/2018

Love it. I haven't used this program in a long time and there are a few things that I never knew about. Defiantly a course I would suggest for someone going back in to the job market if they want a refresher.

By Alain Allaire on 4/8/2018

That is a great course that I should have taken years ago, it would of partially saved me from my grey hair condition now. So many helpful ideas that once shown will save me so much time and arrange my work so much more efficiently. Life is a 1000 months, you cant waist too many of those. This course will save a lot of wasted time clicking for nothing. Thanks for the extra time you have just given me. Alain

By Scott Wolfe-Carlisle on 4/7/2018

This course is an excellent overview of what Microsoft Office applications (programs) can do. Great for a beginner and an excellent way for the student to get their feet wet and unlock the possibilities of creating better materials for personal, work, or even practice materials.

By Keri brown on 4/10/2016

This is a great course. The teacher explains everything clearly and uses very plain terms. So, that makes the class interesting and easy to follow. I was really impressed by the length of each section and what is covered in the class. Great course and worth the time and money to take it.
