More complicated topics could have been included, it was more Basic than Intermediate course.
I came into the session feeling nervous about my excel skills. I have finished the course feeling better but I would say it would be great if the sessions could cater more to visual learners. I often missed things the teacher was saying and fell behind in excersizes. I find when it comes to complex systems it's best to show someone on a screen step by step how to do something. I also felt slightly discouraged by the teacher at the midway point as he asked me if I was finding it difficult would I want to continue the course. I know he was trying to be sympathetic but I found the later half of the day easy to understand. If I'd left at lunchtime I would have missed out on learning more in the afternoon! Really nice guy though and I get where he was coming from.
Perhaps our reflection on the 2nd day went over our day 1 material for too long a period. That said, it made sense for the benefit of our learning progression. On the whole the course was very interactive and Chris ran it at a great pace, allowing significant amount of time for us to ask questions.
Overall I learned a lot on the course and enjoyed it over the two days.
Really good introduction course with a good understanding of why Excel works the way it does. Which i didn't have before. So now i know how to do what I came on the course and understand why the system works the way it does.
The trainer went into depth and made sure we all understood and followed on. Overall a good training experience
Very insightful and useful with a good pace of work
Would be really useful if we could have a period of time to ask further questions from either the trainer or a helpdesk as I'm sure further questions will come to mind (and also I won't get everything right!)
Maybe some pre-course work to find some data sets that you could bring with you so that if you finish the tasks, you can experiment on data sets that you are familiar with
