Course is good for those who has no or has prior knowledge

It's been quite a while since I took that course and I didn't quite finished it to the end simply because some of my career objective has changed a bit. The course was very good even for those who already studied similar materials at school. I learnt from uni and book the theory the calculations the definitions all that sort of thing, but the course takes a very practical approach and refines very important concepts. They are to the point, clear and what you could really use at work or if one wants to get prepped for some top case comp.

Fantastic community
Fantastic community, I am no longer in the CRE industry, full time in residential real estate.

WSO is a fantastic community that I am still a part of but not as active anymore. Would be great if there was a lending side to the platform where we could get some useful information from lenders within the industry such as shadow inventory impacting the residential markets from a corporate lending point of view. I had a client who part of strategic debt at Chase during the 2008 collapse, it would be interesting to expand the WSO platform to incorporate a bit of residential RE considering most realtors are absolute morons from my experience. As Tom Ferry put it, "78% of the people in our industry are low level players, the only way to differentiate your self from the amateur is through education" Fantastic community of Monkeys, Apes and Baboons !

Necessary Reading
A welcomed breath of honestly (and humor) when compared with the endless desert of people who either have never done IB or who have been out too long to be relevant. It's a welcome (enough) environment that prepares you for real day to day.

The Hogwarts of Excel Wizardy
This is a great course for those looking to level up their Excel game. It will take you through the mechanics of actually using Excel and make sure you never use the mouse ever again. Then you'll go through common (and not so common) functions, and how these functions can be used together to reach unexpected results - very much like you would in programming.

The course is well laid out, content is easy to find if you ever need to review, and the module "exam" files are a great reference. The downloadable reference at the beginning of the course is also a great source to keep around.

Through the service, you have guided my resume in the right direction - in terms of which points to elaborate on and which ones to exclude. The resume looks more professional and structured now.

Initially, I was a bit underwhelmed as I expected a full butchering of my resume, but I guess my resume was not as bad as I thought.
