Early reviews from two of our Virtual ‘Interns’:

I took the Microsoft Excel and Word courses. For a beginner or an intermediate user, these are very good courses. As an advanced user, I was able to learn a thing or two. I would rate it at least 3 stars.

One thing about Excel, you need to know more about Math to use the formulas. But you can tell by the result whether or not you have the formula correct. So it’s not Excel’s problem, it’s the user’s fault. Yet it would be nice if Excel would explain the Math better. Like exponentiation and standard deviation. However, I’ve been using Excel since 1984 on the job and I’ve never needed either function. On the other hand, I do not know what the heck they are beyond what the ultimate result is.

Word is much more cut and dry. It’s English.

I am rating the HP online course "Use color coding to prioritize e-mail" a 2-star rating. The fact that it is free is wonderful, the content is relevant and it can be helpful to someone who receives tons of e-mail a day.
