Anastasia Afonina, student of the Faculty of Economics:

"The workshop was conducted at a professional level. The material was presented in a clear and accessible form, even if some functions were not encountered before.

All the examples are analyzed in great detail, and in case of any difficulties, the speaker quickly answered all the questions and repeated the information. Participation in such a workshop is very useful, because I have acquired knowledge that will greatly simplify my work in Excel. Also, Lyudmila shared her experience of working in the KPMG company, which was also very informative. In the future, I would like to participate in more such workshops!”
