Our Students' Reviews

  • I thought I knew Excel until I started this course. It turned out that I used to spend 80% of my time on routine tasks that could be automated with a single formula! Now, reports that used to take me 3 hours to prepare, I do in 20 minutes. The most valuable thing was that the curators patiently explained every unclear moment, even when I asked questions multiple times. This training has fundamentally changed my work!

    Anna

    Anna

    Accountant

  • I was looking for a course that would provide not just theory, but real skills. This is exactly it: after each lesson, I immediately applied the knowledge to my work. It was especially great to learn pivot tables – now my boss asks me to create reports for the entire department. And yes, I finally understood how VLOOKUP works without errors!

    Maxim

    Maxim

    Project Manager

  • I was afraid I wouldn't manage (I'm a humanities person!), but the material was presented so lively and clearly that even complex topics were easily absorbed. A special delight was the practice on real cases: for example, we analyzed sales, and I immediately applied this to my project. Now I feel more confident in meetings – I can back up my arguments with numbers!

    Anna

    Elena

    Aspiring Analyst

  • Before, I kept all my records in a notebook (ashamed to admit it). The course was a turning point: I learned to build financial models, control expenses, and even forecast profits. The most unexpected thing was discovering that I was losing 15% of my income due to calculation errors. Now Excel is like a second accountant for me!

    Maxim

    Dmitry

    Entrepreneur

  • I needed to systematize candidate data, but I didn't know where to start. Thanks to the course, I created a convenient database with filters and automatic reminders. Colleagues now ask me where I learned all this! The support from the curators was very touching – they even responded outside of working hours if I got stuck on an assignment.
