So many tips for things I had no idea about which are going to make my life immeasurably easier in terms of creating documentation (like the snipping tool! Where has that been all my life?) very nice coverage of tables, too.
By Jennie Harborth on 9/30/2020
I learned a lot on this course and it helped me find easier ways to do things.
By Grzegorz Budny on 8/1/2020
This course has plenty of useful information that will be helpful during the exam that I'm planning to take. I highly recommend it.
By Tony Leake on 3/29/2020
The presenter knows his stuff and the curriculum is good and well structured. This is the second of his courses I've watched. There is no doubt that i am learning what I wanted to. For me, the course is too long. The presenter gives way too much detail and much of it is irrelevant sidelines. I honestly believe that it could have been done in one third of the time and been more effective. I would describe the delivery style as rambling. This makes it difficult for me to watch and am left with the feeling that I'm wasting time. Summary, content good if you're not in a hurry.

I thought I knew quite a bit of MS Word. I think I was only scratching the surface of MS Word's capabilities. Thanks Phillip for making this class easy to follow and learn.
By Dag Soervoll on 10/23/2018
I like the rationale behind this course: covering the objective domains of past exams, thus maximizing the learning experience and preparing the exam taker for possible curve-ball questions on the current test. Phillip knows his stuff and is an efficient tutor, conveying the material in an easy to understand way, making sure not to lose you along the way. The format of covering a topic then offering a smattering of related exercises suits is my ideal way of learning and this will keep me coming back for more courses!
By Michele Germano on 9/21/2018
I think this course is really useful to learn a lot of things that are normally difficult to understand with a stand-alone learning, especially for some procedures that are hard to find.
By Pushkar shirode on 8/17/2018
This training is matching my expectations whatever learned so far..Trainer is very well conversant with functionalities of the Word..Expecting to know deeper functionalities of Word in further sections...
By Jessica Dehesa on 4/10/2018
Learned a lot from the content in this course. Touched on topics not discussed in other Advanced/Expert Word courses that I've taken.
By John Cozens on 12/8/2017
Yep, certainly more advanced than the first course, but still very clear. Instructor also speaks a bit faster, so I found playing at 1x speed was fine. Good focus on Microsoft exams, if that's your goal.
