I found the material useful...especially the Tables overview. I have been through Table presentations before...but have yet to convert any of my Excel data to the table format. These sessions help to make things much more comfortable.

Les,

I’m sorry for the frustration this registration experience caused.

This feedback relates to an automated account registration email and was posted immediately after sign-up, before the course was taken or completed. The registration page includes a disclosure stating that the password will be emailed as part of the account setup process.

Excel University is a small, founder-led training business, and I take concerns like this seriously. I appreciate the feedback and will continue working to improve the overall student experience.

Thanks,
Jeff

One of the BEST CPEs I've ever taken.

After decades of boring dry CPEs, this is the one of the rare ones that actually adds value. This is excellent for us ol' hands at Excel (Xennial here) who did everything the hard old school way. Now, we get better tools in the toolbox. Worth the investment and the ROI.

Jeff Provides Great Excel Learning Tools

Jeff is great at explaining the workings of Excel in a clear and concise way. The example workbooks provided, coupled with the ability to pause and backup his lectures, enable students to truly integrate the learning by doing it themselves. Jeff is also very good and providing overviews to help students understand the purpose and value of various features.
