Garfield is awesome. Makes concepts super clear and paces the class wonderfully!
Very knowledgeable and thorough! I'm the type of person who learns by doing, and he allowed us students to practice on our own.
I would like to recommend Garfield's class to anyone who is interested in it. I learned a lot in the class and would like to take other classes under him. He has patience and is understanding of the fact that you are learning the material. I liked how he told jokes to ease the tension in the class. And he explains the material really well in a way that gets your attention and interest to do the work in class. I enjoyed the class and the jokes he threw in while explaining the information kept me from being bored. It was a good ice breaker and made the class fun.
Another great class. The instructor was very knowledgeable about the subject, easy to understand, and follow along. Very good content, very thorough, and covers a lot of good information.
I found the class very interesting and understandable. Easy to follow. And very informative. Garfield keeps you interested in the class. He gives you examples of the work and explains everything in great detail. He motivates you to want to learn the subject. I really enjoyed the class and look forward to other classes taught by him.
Great class and instructor. Very knowledgeable and thorough. Easy to understand and follow.
The instructor was very patient. He answered my questions and the questions other participants had.
This was a great experience. The instructor is very thoughtful in his instruction and makes the information very digestible. He covers a lot of territory without making you feel like you're rushing through everything. I appreciate having access to a PC and Excel in person for the class.
The instructor was excellent. The class was hard, but he moved through the content efficiently, explained everything very thoroughly, and made himself available for questions.
Great tabs to follow along. Very informative!
I will take another class here.
It was helpful. The instructor was very clear, and I was able to follow along.
Good info and lots of data. Ade, the instructor, was very informative and knowledgeable. Kept things moving.
This fundamentals class was just what I needed to brush up on my skills. It touched on a lot of tools I use every day and even a few I don't! Excel always has more to offer and being reminded of that makes working in the application that much more fun and interesting!
Class was very informative. I've been using Excel for years and had no idea all the tools I've been missing out on!
I would encourage anyone to get involved in the class. It is very informative.
The instructor was very helpful and willing to answer questions. I enjoyed the class.
It was great! The materials were very good and well-researched. The instructor was very knowledgeable and detailed with good examples.
The instructor is great, clear, and educated.
Very informative. I feel confident about taking an agency employment test.
I recommended this course to my team members, and I have not completed it. This is fantastic. In my first hour of training, I had almost a full page of notes and helpful tips. It's real and practical. Very clear and well-laid-out examples. And the instructor is kind and patient. Too often, instructors don't want to take the time with someone who is having difficulties. He manages that without any effort or frustration, which is impressive. He is funny as well.
Although I'm somewhat of an advanced user, I still gained a few bits of knowledge, and it was a good refresher for me. The instructor was very personable and informative. It was a good experience, and worth my time.
Great for anyone, beginner or refresher, who wants to use Excel at a high level efficiently.
Thank you for this great experience! I can say I leave this training actually excited to implement the new knowledge I've gained ~ Who says Excel can't be fun?
My experience taking this course was excellent. The instructor was always kind, with a perfect teaching pace and amazing explanations. The examples and activities done throughout this course were very helpful and very easy to understand.
