    I have been using excel for years but this course was not taught very well. I felt he moved too quickly and did not explain it in a way for everyone to understand. The lesson was made two years ago, so you have to enter current day data while working alongside him and some folks may not be able to see if they did it correctly because our results were different. Also, if you did not start by taking his 1st beginners course you may not know how to perform some pf the copy/paste and shortcuts that he used. For $10 this course should be better planned out and executed.

    Courses would not work, couldn't hear it, kept breaking in and out. Then it advanced me to the end when I had only completed one section. Chat with a live person didn't help. Waste of money and I joined for the year after trying courses that worked perfectly until I paid to join. I asked the person to restart the course for me to try again no luck.
