May 08. I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It is one of the most useful courses I have ever attended. The trainer was obviously very knowledgeable and I liked the way he tailored the course to suit our needs. I also liked the little sidetracks to show useful shortcuts.
I thought the size of the class was brilliant. It allowed the trainer to use examples that were most relevant to our work. Formulas and subtotals were particularly useful.
