(5.00 out of 5) [ 14 November, 2024 ]

A very good refresher course. Alex is a great instructor, definitely would take the next level course.

(5.00 out of 5) [ 14 November, 2024 ]

Alex was fantastic explaining the processes in a language that non-computer people can easily understand. Whilst I know some Excel processes, I am leaving the beginner course with more knowledge then when I started.

(5.00 out of 5) [ 14 November, 2024 ]

I enjoyed my day today. Amazing tutor, clear and easy to understand and makes the whole training very interesting, very easy to follow Alex's explanations. I gained enough knowledge to build a basic spreadsheet or even more and perhaps I will be able to fix up my existing ones. Alex delivered probably the best excel training I ever had! Thank you Alex and Dynamic Web Training
