I purchased this course for $15, expecting a more engaging, video-driven learning experience. Instead, about 50% of the content is just reading, with very limited video instruction. The Excel material is extremely basic—so much so that most of it could easily be self-taught in under an hour. While I understand it’s meant for beginners, the course lacks depth and instructional value. The original $50 valuation feels exaggerated. Even at $15, it doesn't feel like a great deal. At a $4–5 price point, it would be more appropriately rated. To be clear, the course isn’t poorly produced—it’s just too simplistic and offers minimal teaching beyond the absolute basics, and even then, you barely cover anything.
