Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I love the way he teaches! Great illustrations and explanations, but wish the class had started at the "IF" function and had more time on the "LOOKUP" Functions and more. I would like this instructor for more trainings involving more complex functions.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
Again, I signed up for a course for something I wanted to learn about in more depth and was treated to an introductory session on items (except one) I already had years of experience in. Aurora really needs to state at what level of experience something is aimed for. Seriously. I waited through this one to get the one item specified and it was bloop and gone because the presenter ran out of time. I don't need intro courses, and frankly, if a person doesn't have the basic skills for the job, why are they in that job? It should have been advertised as a basic excel course and I wouldn't have wasted my time on something so not applicable to my situation.

It was more of a refresher for me. I am not sure if you have trainings focused on as a beginner , intermediate and advance user in Excel but I would like to join an advance training just in case.
