Курс хорошо структурирован для подготовки к экзамену по Excel и Access, хотя примеров по Access могло быть побольше.

El curso explica muy bien las fórmulas de Excel para el examen, aunque la parte de Access se siente un poco apresurada.

Kursus ini bagus banget buat persiapan ujian karena langsung fokus ke rumus Excel dan query dasar Access yang sering keluar. Penjelasannya runtut dan gampang diikuti walau baru pertama kali pakai Access. Cuma latihan soalnya agak sedikit, jadi harus cari tambahan sendiri.

الدورة غطت أساسيات إكسل وأكسس بشكل جيد، لكن كنت أتمنى مزيدًا من أمثلة الامتحان الفعلية.

Sınava hazırlanırken Excel formüllerini ve Access sorgularını sıfırdan öğrenmem gerekiyordu, bu kurs tam da bunu sağladı. Anlatım adım adım ve örnekler sınavda çıkabilecek türden. Kursu bitirdikten sonra kendimi çok daha hazır hissettim.

Отличный курс для подготовки к экзамену по компьютерной грамотности. Материал по Excel объясняется очень доступно, а разделы по базам данных Access наконец помогли мне понять запросы. Через две недели занятий я сдала пробный тест почти без ошибок.

Хорошо разобрал Excel и Access для экзамена первого уровня, но по Access хотелось бы чуть больше практики.

This course covers exactly the Excel functions and Access basics you need for the exam, laid out in a logical order. The practice exercises on pivot tables and simple queries were especially useful for me. My only gripe is that the Access section moves a bit fast if you've never opened the program before.

Ce cours est parfait pour réviser avant l'examen, les formules Excel sont expliquées clairement avec des exemples concrets. La partie sur Access m'a permis de comprendre enfin les requêtes de base. Je me sens beaucoup plus confiant pour l'épreuve maintenant.

Mi sono iscritto per preparare l'esame di livello 1 e la parte su Excel è stata davvero chiara, con esempi pratici sulle formule e sulla formattazione delle tabelle. Anche la sezione su Access mi ha aiutato a capire le basi dei database, anche se avrei voluto qualche esercitazione in più. Nel complesso mi sono presentato all'esame molto più preparato.

كنت أخشى امتحان مهارات الحاسوب المستوى الأول لأنني لم أكن أتقن إكسل جيدًا. هذه الدورة شرحت الدوال الأساسية وتنسيق الجداول بطريقة بسيطة جدًا، كما أن جزء قواعد البيانات في أكسس أزال كل خوفي منه. تدربت على نماذج تشبه أسئلة الامتحان فدخلت وأنا مطمئن واجتزته من المرة الأولى.

Kurs bardzo dobrze przygotowuje do egzaminu, bo skupia się na konkretnych funkcjach Excela i podstawach Access, które faktycznie się przydają. Ćwiczenia krok po kroku pozwoliły mi w końcu zrozumieć tabele przestawne. Po tygodniu nauki czułam się naprawdę gotowa do testu.
