The instructor was very detailed with his explainations and gave some examples that was relevant for my use in data analysis. I found data modelling very helpful for my role.
This has been a great course. Well-paced and knowledgeable instructor. Got a lot of new tips and greater understanding of excel pivot tables and queries, which is what I was hoping for with this training.
Course content was excellent - Presenter was very informative and explained everything very clearly. Can't wait to put it all into practice.
Great pace, great real life examples and was happy to explain scenarios for our work. Good content covered and good flow.
I liked how all exercises built on the same data set, rather than a random collection of different examples.
The coach was incredibly knowleageable and helpful. He stayed past the hour answering our questions and just knew so much. It's been an abolute pleasure and looking to appliying this new skills to a complex airline dashboard project I've been working on. Thanks so much!
A valuable online learning course! The humorous lecture brings professional course teaching and demonstrations to everyone.
This was fantastic, what a great session this was! I would love to re-sit this session to solidify my understanding, it was such a great day, thanks so much for this this will definitely be utilised in my day! The instructor was very clear and very enthused to keep us all engaged
Very informative and useful information. The presenter was easy to follow. Interactive and answered all of our questions. I would definitely recommend
Adam was a very kind and insightful instructor! He made everyone feel comfortable and able to keep up with the content which is most important to me. Adam had a fantastic answer to a question I raised which significantly helped me understand how the course materials apply to my work setting.
This course was very informative. I have found data analysis to be exactly what we have been missing in regards to capture and slicing certain aspects of our data and reporting. Sean is a great trainer, and we did appreciate the accents and 'Dad' jokes!. Thank you for accommodating for Amber and myself starting later also.
This course was very informative and I have gained valuable knowledge. The instructor was clear and friendly.
There is so much to learn about Excel! Sean was an excellent instructor, very happy with the course and the learning opportunity. Thank you!
Highly reccomended due to the instructor. Was able to gain an amazing understanding of the course and its application for future projects
Sean made a topic that may have been a bit dry, very interesting and I appreciated the opportunity to participate.
