Took the Word and Excel basics as a refresher. The teachers covered the key features well. I like that you can do a free retake if needed. So much is covered that it acts to further reinforce the learning. A thoughtful addition is water, coffee, and bagels free to each student.

Debbie is a very engaging and dynamic trainer, and the class was exactly what I was hoping for. I am self-taught in Excel so this class really filled in the gaps for me.
The instructor was amazing and the overall experience was great. I had very little knowledge of Excel, but after today, I know a lot more and even understand certain things I wasn't 100% sure about.
Highly recommend this course for a good overview of Excel. This was exactly what I needed to be more confident in operating in a finance firm.
Taking this Excel class made a lot of missing links fit. I had multiple "ah ha" moments.
The class was very beneficial, and I am excited to use these new skills in my job. Ade is an absolutely fantastic instructor; not only is he an expert in all Microsoft tools, but he is also a patient and thorough teacher.
Amazing teacher! He is understanding and will take the time to make sure you understand the material and why it happens. He also makes the class time fly with his jokes that match the material.
Debbie is very enthusiastic about Excel. Excel is her passion, and it shows in her engaging training.
For any beginner looking to Excel in Excel, look no further. You've found your golden key!
The written and verbal instructions were easy to follow, allowing me to quickly master the basic Excel functions and tools. I would recommend this class to others.
Enjoyed taking this class! The instructor was very knowledgeable, easy to understand, and gave examples that were relevant to what we were doing.
Glad I took this class. It really enforced concepts in Excel that I thought I knew well.
Great training and excellent instructor. Very knowledgeable.
Excel I and II have been very helpful in my new role. I work in hospital administration, and although I had some knowledge of Excel, it was extremely basic compared to all the helpful skills learned in these classes. I am already implementing some of them in my data analysis and presentation. Highly recommended!
I would recommend this class to anyone beginning to use Excel or wanting to learn more.
I started with the beginner's Excel class and cannot wait to attend the other classes offered.
Excellent experience. I would highly recommend this course for day-to-day Excel users!
I didn't realize there was so much to learn in a beginner's Excel course!

This is great for Excel beginners and definitely was a great refresh for me. I learned new and improved tips and tricks.
Very helpful class if you're a novice in Excel.
Knowledgeable and experienced instructors!
Great experience. The instructor was very professional and patient, and the facility was clean and secure.
I'm glad I chose this program. My Excel class was very informative and easy to understand.
The course took me from not knowing what a cell was to being able to create my own flow charts, pie graphs, and calculations! I would highly recommend this course to Excel novices, as well as those wanting to take their skill set before the board.
The Beginner Microsoft Excel class was informative and engaging. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Career Centers instructors are highly skilled communicators who really know their craft. They are wonderful about explaining and re-explaining when necessary and I never felt rushed or foolish for asking a question.
