Thembelihle Mkhwanazi – The Domino Foundation
I learned a lot from this Excel course; I'd always wanted to know how to create formulas, but had no prior experience doing so. After completing this course, I now understand and can even create graphs, which will be useful in my current position, particularly in reporting.
Thank you so much for the chance, which I greatly appreciate.
