TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO SPREADSHEETS AND MODELS
Course was generally very good...however, apologies if I've missed it, but doesn't appear to be a way to get a transcript of the lectures. Not ideal for taking learnings into practice.
A particularly useful course. It built on my existing Excel knowledge and "expertise". I really enjoyed it, as all the skills learned in this course can be applied in the real world.
The course was highly informative and challenged one's ability to understand the value that spreadsheets will provide as the course progresses in using it for business decisions
This course is a must for all the learners who want to go ahead and achieve big because this course not just teaches you about financial scenarios etc. but the knowledge can be used in real life
