    Part 1 was great, but in part 2 i feel like i can now actually provide innovative solutions using VBA. It's a very well taught course that keeps you engaged through great quizzes and assignments.

    Same statement as for Part 1; A really good course, taught by a very nice and competent instructor. I have learned many things that I can actually apply at work. VBA is very helpful in many situations - Excel is almost everywhere, The instructor introduces new concepts by demonstrating their application in small real world projects, in the weekly assignment you then have to apply those conepts in a different context. I found this a very motivating and effective approach

    Good course for those who wish to escape from daily routine job like consolidating files from multiple workbooks & worksheets. With this course now I'm able to consolidate my daily attendance file comprising of 31 workbooks with 12 worksheets in each workbook in matter of less than 5 min.

    Thanks Charlie Nuttelman & University of Colorado Boulder for this wonderful course.

    Completed Part 1 & 2 now heading to Part 3. Hope to complete part 3 specialization in a months time

    Je remercie sincèrement Monsieur Charlie Nuthelman pour la qualité de ce cours. Je recommanderais ce cours à ceux qui ont un petit background en programmation et en dans la connaissance des fonctions Excel en anglais. Par le passé j'ai voulu me former en VBA mais les tutoriels VBA trouvés m'ont toujours repoussé. C'est à travers le choix pédagogique de cet instructeur que j'ai pu évoluer et je suis à mi chemin du parcours. Cours 2 / 3. Merci

    A fantastic course. I have significantly improved my VBA fluency after completing this course. I am now able to write simple to intermediate VBA applications without having to seek help online. The learning materials were clearly presented by Charlie, and the in-video questions were relevant and challenging. I would recommend this course to any VBA novice looking to gain a step-up in their use of Excel/VBA.

    The material provided with the course is simple but it has everything you need to learn. The videos explain the content of the course are concise and precise, no need to watch them again, a single view is enough to understand. The only downside I could pinpoint would be that the sound of the videos is low, but it's still manageable. So, in general, it's another great course provided by Prof. Nuttelman.

    The material was markedly more difficult than part 1, but the examples made it doable. I do, however, think it would be easier if there were more mini assignments interspersed with each of the screencasts, rather than a longer assignment at the end of each week. That approach would make it easier to absorb new material. Overall, though, the content is easy to follow and explained well.

    I found the course great for my level of VBA pre-knowledge. Learning by doing in coding is very important, and that is the reason why I appreciate that assignments were sometimes more challenging (at least for me). This course helped me to develop some business-related solutions in very short span of time. Support on assignments/quizzes/material was on very high level at all times.

    Amazing course! Teaching was very clear and engaging. I especially love all the assignments. Some of them were not easy to solve, but by looking back at course material and finding helps on the forum, I could always figure out the solution. Assignments challenged me to understand course materials. After passing Part 1 and Part 2, I found Part 3 a piece of cake ;)

    This course is great for leaning some very practical data cleaning, organizing and consolidating methods for a wide variety of applications. Not difficult if you've followed part 1 of the course (which I strongly recommend) and the instructor is very nice and responsive if you do happen to run into trouble or don't understand a concept. Fun and useful!

    A must course for engineers or anyone who want to take their Excel skills to next level. Trainer (Mr Charlie) developed the course and explained the concepts in a very good way. Placement of quizes and their quality is excellent for understanding the concepts learned.

    Thank you Mr Charlie for teaching. This course is very helpful in my day today work.

    This is a very useful course, and you can put what you learn to use immediately. I completed a very complex excel automation that required me to update 60 spreadsheets and read in history from earlier versions of the spreadsheets. Our process went from 8 hours of an analysts time to 10 minutes. I did it using the skills I learned in this course.

    Es un curso muy interesante. Como curso intermedio, tiene una dificultad lo suficientemente alta como para generar aprendizaje dado que no se tiene a un profesor que pueda responder preguntas. Los videos son muy claros, no fue necesario recurrir a material distinto al del curso para realizar los quices y completar los talleres. Muy recomendado.

    The instruction is fantastic because it is practical. It's 90% utility with 10% theory and courses 1 and 2 have been a great refresher on VBA/Excel while adding to my skill set. Again, thank you to Charlie for putting in the time with video editing - his attention to detail really helps to drive home learning comprehension. On to class 3!

    I learned a LOT from this course. There are some kinks here and there, but overall the course is very, very well done. Also, Professor Nuttelman is also working on improving the course as well, which is very impressive. He does a great job of responding to questions that go beyond the scope of what can be answered in the forum., too.

    This course builds upon fundamentals learned in Part 1 and provides even more advanced VBA knowledge. Assignments, especially Assignment 3, are pretty challenging, which ensures that you will need to study in order to pass the course. I definitely recommend everyone interested in mastering VBA to continue developing skills with Part 2!

    I just finished with the second part of the course Excel/VBA for creative problem solving. it was a nice and challenging course. I feel that I took the basics of programming in VBA thanks to this course.

    Thank you so much Pr. Charlie for your explanation and for making this course as challenging and beneficial.

    Very well explained courses, made for young workers as me who need to deal with datas in various Excel workbooks (results of testing, outputs of a software, etc.).

    Easy to understand and follow for a non-native English speaker. The assignments are guided if the student is stuggling with one assignment.

    Dear Sir,

    The way you have designed the course was really great! I have enjoyed every lecture and exercise.

    Your efforts are highly appreciated. I did this course using scholarship but I will make sure that in future I will return back your efforts. Right now my condition is not that good, financially.

    A very comprehensive course that provides the necessary tools to build on from it ,through clear screencast and assignments that lead me to employ each bit of information in problem solving. In my particular case of someone who started off from zero the course was challenging but also fun.

    Another excellent course. As expected, part 2 was more demanding than part 1.

    The assignments were challenging but feasible.

    To gain the most from the course, I would recommend to work along with the instructor during the lectures in order to develop your own macros for future reference.

    Completed this course in parallel with the 1st part. The content and the structure of both courses are amazing, and I can already feel the benefit at my workplace: the knowledge has allowed me to optimize some menial tasks which I previously used to avoid. Looking forward to Part 3!

    It's a great course by Professor Charlie Nuttelman! Part 2 dives into arrays and user forms, both of which are the foundations of many real-world applications. The video contents are well planned out. The quizzes and assignments definitely help to reinforce the concepts!

    This course is an excellent follow-on to Part I of this course. Part I covers the basics and really sets the foundation for the more complicated pieces of Part II. This course offers a wider range of skills that can be employed in a professional or academic setting.
