I really enjoyed this course. Although I already work in customer services, I found it very informative and I picked up a lot of useful information and tips. What I liked about the course was that it was something you could do at your own pace and it was easy to follow. It made me feel more relaxed about my studying and put me at ease when it came to the final test at the end. The modules were just the right length, with plenty of content to get your teeth into but not too much that it became overwhelming, and that made it better to learn and digest what was being said. I would certainly recommend it!

I my opinion it is the best idea for people who working full time. You can start anytime you want, all files you can keep to learning. You are boss yourself:-)

The platform is available anytime, I can back to module if I forgot something. I recommend for everyone who wants broaden their knowledge.

I really enjoyed this course. It allowed me to go at my own pace, completing modules in my lunch breaks or at home and you can do the modules as many times as you like which suited me.

The modules were explained well, included a clear step by step guide with a video and a spreadsheet to practice on which allowed me to learn the content in different ways. The module content was extremely valuable and taught me how to understand Excel which will lead to saving time in future projects needing Excel.

This course not only includes the very basics but explains some core Excel processes. I recommend this course to all abilities and anyone who needs to use Excel.

I would like to say that I have completely enjoyed the course online and I am very pleased with the resources and information that was given. My father is very proud of me completing the course in a short amount of time and I can only give credit to New Skills Academy for giving me the opportunity to complete a qualification that will benefit me in the future. I say this because my preferred job role is a human resources manager or even assistant to start off with. Many thanks for this amazing experience and the importance of this qualification as a whole.

The course was very useful. It covers everything you need starting from the introduction to the comments. Everything was explained in a way to understand easily each one module of it. I really liked the pivot table module.

It is so helpful, don’t know how I lived until now without it at work. It is just amazing. I am so glad that I started the course and I am proud of myself that I did it in a such a short time.

Thank you for this. Can’t wait to start the next one – intermediate level! Hopefully I will pass it. And who knows – maybe after that I will pass the advanced one.
