Excel 2021 Training DVD by Simon Sez IT: Excel 2021/365 Tutorial for Beginners to Intermediate Users – Excel Course Including Exercise Files

I needed to learn more about excel for both school and work and these lessons really help. It is easy to follow along and I’ve leaned a lot so far.

Whether youre a beginner or a little more advanced, this Excel course is fantastic. I am pretty well versed with Excel and know how to use pivot tables and power queries. However I am looking to improve on vlookup and some other more advanced sorting features for large databases. My wife on the other hand hardly knows how to use Excel. Thats the great thing about this training course is that it has a beginner section or you can click on intermediate which is where I went. But I am having my wife take it so she can get familiar with Excel. The courses are very well explained and intuitive. Im very impressed with this course. The only downside is that this is not a piece of software that you would load on your computer and use from your computer. It is all on a disc and it runs from the desk. I would have much preferred that it would be software that you loaded on your computer and ran instead of it dvd. But I created an ISO image of the disc and use a DVD emulator to run it from my computer. So I dont need to run the disc every time anymore. If you dont know how to do that then, Google Daemon light tools. I definitely recommend this course for either a beginner or intermediate learner. Its just very well done and easy to follow. I learned a few new tricks already that I didnt know.

The content on this is great, the running it from a DVD feels very outdated for me though. But it loads fairly quickly and its easy to navigate through the menu. My husband is having to learn Excel for work so I got it for him. Hes only run through a few of the tutorials so far on it but the instruction is easy for him to follow. The voice has an accent (I thought it was British, he thought Australian so Im not sure) but its clear and easy to understand what is being said. You can pick the lessons/level (beginner/intermediate).

very practical for a self-learner. i personally struggle sitting through a class, and though very worth the money, my brain pings pretty bad when i start learning something due to my ADHD. i personally learn better this way because i can bounce around to certain topics that scratch the itch, and then return to what i need to go to next in line with the training plan. i feel this adds a bit more benefits to someone who is stationary in a desk as opposed to someone on the go trying to learn/apply what theyve learned due to the online classroom type of environment. theres plenty of breakdown per learning tab so you dont get sucked into 40min segments just to gather the small bit of information you need from something very poignant. definitely keeping this at work for using during downtime. well worth it!

When I get this DVD it was a bit hard to actually get it to work on my computer because nowadays most computers do not have DVD drives, so I borrowed an external DVD player from a friend to give this tutorial a go. I really like that they speak in an easy-to-understand method. I am by no means a novice in Excel but there are a couple of things that I really learned from watching this tutorial that I otherwise would have never thought of. I really recommend to anyone who needs to learn excel for work.
