A good, intensive course (though the pace was perhaps a little too fast at times). The trainer was clear in their teaching. It remains to be seen how this will translate into everyday use (I’d hoped to learn some Python formulas directly within the Excel interface to expand Excel’s capabilities).

A good balance between practical exercises and theory. A very knowledgeable trainer who shared handouts. A trainer with excellent teaching skills. A small group, which encouraged discussion
