    I must admit, I was pretty nervous about tackling Macros and VBA, feeling uncertain about my ability to grasp these concepts. But, I’ve got to say, Oz, your course has completely changed the game for me! You have a way of making everything seem so clear and straightforward, and your engaging teaching style really helped in breaking down the basics of Macros and VBA in a way that was not only accessible but also pretty fun. Thanks to your teaching, I’ve started to confidently review and tweak the VBA in existing files at work to better meet my needs. Oz, thanks so much for making what seemed like a daunting topic approachable and enjoyable. Your course has truly expanded my skills and sparked a deeper interest in exploring more of what Excel can offer. Looking forward to exploring more!
