Some of the other courses I have taken have come with exercises. Although the lessons are very clear, they can get a little boring after a while. I think some exercises to test your knowledge would have been nice and helped keep your attention.

By Sam Kruit on 1/12/2022

Really good course. Calm, informative and enjoyable. Would be good to see more on how to adjust and save themes (still haven't quite worked out the relationship between themes and styles so I can get the same layout when I log back in again!) but this will seriously speed up my production of critiquing templates.

By Ng Boon Heng on 12/8/2021

yes, the course is really useful, I have learnt a lot especially formatting that will make the job much easy. I am very happy with the course content and teaching. It's very beneficial. Thanks!

By Cassie Brilbeck on 3/26/2021

This course was incredibly informative. I took my time getting through each lesson and now feel like I have a much better understanding of the wonderful tools available. I am beyond grateful!

By Dirk Van Bael on 12/13/2020

Very clear explication

By Nora Utech on 10/16/2020

I've used Word for many years, but I'm learning so many little tips that I didn't know about before. Wish I had taken this a long time ago!

By Mologadi Matlale Kgasago on 10/15/2020

It is useful and will help me with most of my assignments.

By AandM Dominguez on 10/8/2020

Great for anyone new to Microsoft Word wanting to up their skills. Only thing that would have made this perfect for me, personally, is practice quizzes/questions after each major section for comprehensive check and review--took a practice exam immediately after and did not perform well--and better audio (I found myself raising the volume to over 50% on my Windows computer).
