This course teaches you how to get the most out of Microsoft Outlook productivity tools to improve your productivity, sanity, efficiency and work-life balance.
Microsoft Outlook is probably the top productivity suite for professionals—and yet only 10% are using it to its full capability. This course demonstrates how to utilize all five of Outlook’s tools—E-Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Notes and Tasks—to better manage your time, staff and projects and achieve higher-levels of focus, relationship-building and productivity. With tips and usage demonstrations, this course will help you become less reactive, stressed out and distracted, and more proactive with:
- Managing multiple projects and tasks
- Maintaining “traction” when dealing with tasks and interruptions
- Clearing the clutter for better focus
- Keeping staff and team members on task
- Tracking deliverables
- Managing your calendar and contacts for better time and relationship management
The instructor also shares strategies on how to better manage, organize and prioritize e-mail for improved productivity and time management.
This course features all software demos in Microsoft Outlook 2010, although users of Outlook 2007 and 2003 will still greatly benefit from this program. Future versions of this Illumeo course will feature the new Outlook 2013 as well as Gmail and other Google productivity suite applications.

(196 rating)This was a good overview of the need to consider digital assets in estate planning.
The presenter keeps a quick pace for this interesting subject and has a bullet point list on screen to make it easy to go back and find any part of the presentation.
Great in depth introduction to AI for accountants.
Very short course and some of the examples were good this course is not as good as other ethics courses I have taken.
Good refresher course that could benefit all from goal setting to delegation.
This is an old course. This could definitely use a refresh.
This was an interesting introductory course into powerBI and its uses
Great course. I like the format. It gives a good overview of the general controls and then focuses on the sales order entry process exactly like advertised.
Great course. Went by quickly and had a lot of useful information.
Good course explaining how account takeovers can occur and ways individuals and businesses can protect themselves.
I loved the use of interesting case studies to contrast the traits of ethical & amoral leaders.
Great course, many valuable tips. I recomnde the course.
Interesting course with great Cases to add understanding. Great presentation.
Very clear explanations and examples of Ethics vs Morality vs the Law. Also, how we operate within each. Lynn gave a thorough and thoughtful presentation. I always enjoy and learn from her training.
Good review of less traditional balance sheet accounts and accounting.
good course no more opinion... good course no more opinion... good course no more opinion...
This is a great course on COSO internal controls and the changes over time. I really enjoyed it.
Would have been beneficial to have screenshots of outlook activities
Of the many, many courses I have taken on the Illumeo platform, this was definitely one of the best and most insightful. I have always found elements of "behavioral finance" to be fascinating and powerful in planning, strategy, and business performance. Mr. Stephens has bundled the leading theories and presented them as a unified new "dimension" for planners and leaders to factor in. He has done so in a manner that CFO's and other business leaders will undoubtedly find easy to digest, replete with useful examples. The consideration of these concepts will undoubtedly add value via improvement decision-making and more enlightened risk assessments. Thank you for such a quality contribution to the Illumeo portfolio!!
Very interesting course! The instructor kept the discussion interesting with personal experiences.
perfect course to learn usefull fuctions within excel to help manage data and analysis.
Such a great course, and very useful tools! I would highly recommend it.
I learned a lot in this course and liked that the instructor added information and comments in addition to the printed slides. This was a lot of data to consume and would probably worth a second time around. I cannot say that I fully understand the blockchain even after this course but I certainly have a better rudimentary knowledge.
excellent the content was well done. I would fully recommend this for someone that needs to learn more about excel. I feel that I opened a new world of formulas and things I did not know about excel.
Pretty interesting course on finding shortcuts for organizing data. Found the Data Table section most useful.
This course was especially helpful to me to find out more about the function of internal auditors as I have recently worked with them.
It's hard to distill the entire history of ethical thought down into a 2 hour business course, but I give credit to the instructor for making the effort.
Good instructor and very informative. Gives a good overview of what should be considered.
Great course. Clear, engaging, good pace and relevant examples. Thank you Teija for putting this together.
What a fantastic course! This course was chock full of great tips and general ideas. Definitely a ton of "a ha" kind of moments and very helpful for those of us at the middle management level who would like to try to convince the Executive level that moving even at least to data mining would be helpful. Also, really appreciated the presenter's use of helpful visuals as well.
Content great and topics in general are still relevant, but this is using the 2010 version and could be enhanced with new features and M365 integration.
This was a good presentation on effective presentation techniques. Mr Cook did a great job
Great examples and content. High quality lecture that made following and applying the concepts easier.
Very interesting course! ..................................................................
The excitement of the content combined with the enthusiasm and insight of Mr. Wasny make this course, along with those he presents on AI, the most inspiring and motivational I've experienced on this platform.
I liked the info but the presentation was a bit robotic.
it was very intersting to have the contection to the case in Canada.
The material was well presented but surprise by the level of difficulty of the questions.
Excellent class that contained very relevant 'real world' examples.
Learned new items in excel I didn't know before. At age 66, wish i had known before now.
A key consideration for all employees in today's work environment
Definitely works your brain and is a great refresher. Course is a great reminder of the tools CFOs have and how to use them.
Keeping the course as a reference. I learned a great deal!
Great content & learned a lot of Excel tips. I was familiar with a lot of these functions but didn't know about these additional tricks and uses.
This training was good. It was straightforward and covered a lot of good information.
excellent work and important subject matter. thanks for showing what few of us explore in our daily working hours.
Very good instructor who goes through systematically the commands and their usage. The additional workbook helps so that you can practice the activities as you go.
Well organized content laid out in a logical manner.
better explanation of exception calculations - tables with values did not include calculation of numerator or denominator units within module should have better labels for reference purpose Ex - lifetime opportunity credit as opposed to part # continued difficult to use materials for
I learned a lot, but the test questions were out in left field and there are no slides.
Good information, but too much repetition of the same exact words in each section. More self promotion than I usually see in these courses.
A great course...the taming e-mail decision tree is gold.
Terrible quiz questions....wrong tenses and unprofessional grammar (E.g. "little white lies" and "cut it"). Also, thanks for the interesting but totally irrelevant adrenal system questions.
Well thought-out content and presentation. Periodic mis-spell and various fonts made it seem less professional and the course was prepared on the fly with heavy Covid-19/Zoom fatigue :)
This is incredibly outdated. He is referencing Excel 2007.
The course covers a significant amount of material that is often uncommon such as disposal of divisions and going concern treatments. It's well done and interesting.
This was a great course to introduce me to features of excel that I have never used to give me a great understanding of how they might be used in practical everyday applications of Excel.
Excellent refresher course and reference for future use. Instructor and materials are also excellent.
I like the trick to think of at least 3 options or choices in deciding on solutions to a problem.
The presentation was a bit long-winded, which made it difficult for me to follow. Also, the terminology in the presentation did not always seem consistent.
Adding slides to visually show the examples discussed orally would really improve the user's comprehension. Great coverage of the topic.
The course work for this course was helpful for completing the assignments.
Wonderful tips - I actually paused the webinar and put his tips into use. I configured categories and created signatures for my recurring emails. Highly recommend this course!
I thought the course was informative and these tricks should save me time at work with the tasks i need to complete. I recommend this course to anyone. Thank you
There is no way the testing answers are correct (i have ran into this a few times). Question 5 answers are follow by-laws of parent org, or set rules on their own but within framework of parent org, or set your own rules and somehow the answer is all of the above even though c is mutually exclusive.
This course teaches you to how to think about thinking. Excellent how the presenter (who is excellent) explained the concepts using not just general but accountant specific problems.
almost bailed when I saw it was 2014, but info is still relevant today and I did learn from it!
Excellent overview of COSO and internal controls for preventing fraud in the workplace. Detailed welk-through of the 16 principles with examples facilitate application of the principles to one's own environment.
Slides should be prepared in advance, no slide materials to retain and or review, and the exam questions were very poorly worded relative to answer choices.
The class was presented in a perfect pace for my learning style. The slides are easy to follow and great for future reference.
Having 3 different people jumping back and forth caused a lot of confusion and the material seemed to have gaps. Specifically betwen slide 22 & 23. At the beginning of slide 23 she says thank you for all of that insight....what insight? I didn't hear any insight from slide 22 as it seemed they skipped over half of that slide. The presentation was very choppy. I ended up stopping the presentation and just thumbing through the slides to get a passing exam. There are other really great courses on AI within Illumeo to explore
A lot of useful information on basics of accounting.
This course was very easy to follow and well explained on how to use Excel functions and shortcuts.
I liked the variety of topics covered in this course. It covers a lot about the psychology of making financial decisions.
The instructor spoke a little slow for my taste. I had to speed up the video to help me follow along. Good course, though.
Too much repetition and not enough instruction on how outlook works.
This course contains a lot useful information and tools that are easily implemented! Examples were easy to follow.
Super clear instructions with excellent examples provided to work through.
A recent volunteer position has me dealing with a large amount of data downloads, and this course has so many good points on dealing with the various situations that I am already struggling to correct. (effective instructor...missing the training file that he typically includes) That is the only reason for my less than perfect scoring and seems to be a platform issue.
Well worth your time. Very practical use of Outlook to become more efficient managing information at work. Keep the imprortant things the important things.
its a great course with full of information! i find it useful for me to detect a fraud next time
Very helpful. Will likely watch again and take notes - some good tips in how to do things more efficiently and make the presentation look more ptofessional in Powerpoint
Thank you for providing an informative opportunity to complete my ethics cpe requirement.
Good discussion of potential pitfalls to watch out for when working with NFP
Great class... lots of information to absorb. Will be using the additional info to refer back to!
Excellent! This will lead better comunication. White spaces are realy an important.
Would like more focus on how to handle situations and not necessarily how to identify difficult people
This course was very informative and gives interesting perspectives for anyone who pays taxes.
This was a great class that gave me some important tips that I hadnt previously considered. Very useful!
Good material and overview of SAAS metrics. Sound was a little low could be increased but otherwise good
I really had a hard time with some of the exam questions - they seemed ambiguous and unclear.
Always excellent tips - able to put into action immediately.
i would say this is quite boring and not interactive..
David's courses are always great. Learned a great trick for getting the month number.
Professor Wu - This is second course of yours that I am taking and I am amazed of the various tricks and tips you have illustrated on sumifs and pivot tables. And yet, I am considered to be a pivot table expert! Thank you, I will continue to practise and use them for better outcomes.
This course is a good overview of professional ethics for MD CPAs
This was a great refresher on keeping healthy boundaries & helps identify types of boundary issues. Great class! Thanks!
Excellent speaker who is clear, concise, and gave relevant examples that supplemented the course theories.
I believe younger people and those who lack experience with public speaking would greatly benefit from this. Learning about listening and understanding the audience is what can separate decent public speakers from the great ones.
I appreciate some of the functions that have been used in the past or can be used by combining functions to an extent that it helps understanding the new functions. But in this presentation there seemed to be so much of it became confusing or a bit of information overload.
I would have liked to had a worksheet for the examples.
The slides must reflect everything stated in the audio
Nothing new. Not particularly engaging. Some outdated ideas (women should wear makeup...)
Learned a lot about filtering, and the instructor was spot on and explained in detail. I like how the instructor walks you through every example.
I really liked the course but the background music was too loud.
Extremely polished presentation and the the detailed examples help drive home how each function works.
This was an informative primer on IT General Controls and was easy to understand.
Examples presented aid in making the understandability of the conent present clear
Good if you are brand new to Pivot Tables, would have liked a little more in depth of certain features.
Great deal of practical solutions to enhancing executive presence. Solid examples by the instructors.
Jennifer speaks very clearly, which makes it easier to understand. This course covered a lot of ground.
Well prepared and laid out. Flowed well from topic to topic.
Good refresher course for the CA regulatory review
Great course that gets to the heart of the issues. Materials flow naturally and are good for the test and future reference.
I loved this lecture - some really great insights for how to be a better leader!
materials are 6 years old. Google algorithms have changed and continue to change. Course should be updated. Would have liked to have seen discussion abour White Hat and Black Hat SEO.
KPI section could be more informative in measuring how effective your profile is.
Information presented will be very useful! It was presented in an easy to follow format. I learned several short-cuts to convert emails to tasks to calendar items. The tips provided relative to using the Notes section in Outlook will also be very helpful There is no doubt that I will be able to use the information provided in this course to better manage my time and and track my tasks. After taking this course, I am definitely going to follow it up with his course on Email management.
Course seemed disorganized and did not flow well. I didnt care for the section about the examples of clients the instructor had coached.
Instructor really explains thoroughly & provides wonderful & helpful supporting documents & materials for afterwards. It still takes me forever to complete, but it is a well planned out & conducted online learning video.
Good, easy to follow suggestions, and clear steps to take
Good course for the various fraudulent schemes that are appearing everyday in the workplace
Very informant course - contained a lot of good information. Course instructor very good with good examples.
Great training and course. Easy to understand. Thank you.
A little dated. Needs to be updated to current outlook. some of the strategies go beyond outlook software and these are useful.
This was a very detailed course and a good refresher of the responsibilities and types of controls businesses should have.
Very good instructor covering various aspects and useful examples and cases.
Good overview of various ratios that help in the financial statement analysis
Informative and easy to understand. Can't wait to use the new options!
effective course for entry level email writing. course could show how to avoid so many emails to start with
Challenging and an excellent course, it expanded my knowledge.
Good course and ideas for staying more organized and effective..
Helped explain how to use tables and move between worksheets with ease
This course provides an effective overview of the many aspects of Pivot Tables in Excel. It helpfully covers each technique twice.
Good course it has some useful tips. My only issue is this course seems to be outdated (2014?) for the new functions of Outlook
Excellent overview of covered material. Examples and support material were helpful in understanding each excel tip.
This was overall really great. I would have left out the Power Query section as it didn't feel like it quite fit in.
I am somebody that hopes and believes that crypto will be the future of payments and investing. The one thing I do not like is how scared people get when you mention the word crypto. People are also very misinformed a lot of times or just do not care to be informed. So my only critique would be the fact that the risks of cryptocurrencies are comparable to investing in stocks or holding cash in a bank account. Illegal acts have been happening since the dawn of man and cryptocurrency has a fraction of wrongdoing on its RAP sheet compared to cash and other financial tools. Just trying to make crypto seem less scary. Change is good.
Very good information given in this course, and given in a way that was very informative, not too wordy, and easy to understand.
Some tips are useful and can helo improve using excell more efficiently.
The course was very informative and helpful. Learned a lot of new terminologies.
Though the material in this course was well thought out and presented, I found it distasteful and unpatriotic to include a former president, not just as an example of an amoral/immoral leader, but also the answer to an exam question. Keep your politics out of my professional learning materials...
In just two hours, this course will allow accounting and finance professionals to write significantly better. The first part of the course shines. As a professional writer, it provided a useful summary of business writing principles. Most professionals will learn new information that they can instantly apply to improve their writing. While the second part also provided critical information, it felt much less content-dense than the first part. This section only needed half the time allotted. Overall, an excellent course and a productive use of time.
Two exam questions were super confusing. Not well written. #2 and #4, other than that, was an excellent course
I really like this course and would recommend it to anyone who is stepping into or pursuing a leadership position.
The course offers great suggestions for how a 1:1 meeting can contribute to career building success.
Great job reminding us that the financials are only the first step...i don't use ratios as i should. printed out the slides to remind me.
This course did a really nice job with individual case studies and footage of historical figures to illustrate the contrasts in leadership.
While downloading the slide deck noticed the slides on communication were missing.
Took this as a refresher. Just finished a finding development training and this lined up perfectly with what I learned during that training. Great extension to the knowledge base I already have!
Excellent course! Recommended for everyone who wants expand his knowledge of Power BI.
Course should be labeled as text only. The only portion that is video format is the VBOA introduction.
The instructor used the real incidents she experienced in explaining the concepts of ethics, which facilitated my understanding.
Great course. However, question 10 answer on final exam is incorrect.
good course
I like that the course broke down standard cost into the basics. I felt it was a good introduction to the concepts that will then allow me to explore more detailed course options.
Similar to David's other courses, instruction was clear and concise. Not only will this help build a solid budget, but a few neat shortcuts and formulas are presented as well.
Good review and examples. I suggest a few more exercises like at the end.
The presentation was a little dry - obvious that the presenter was just reading material.
Great content! I really learned a lot about how to apply Excel functions to financial planning & analysis.
Good review course. This was a solid refresher for something I have been away from for some time.
now that I WFH full time because of the pandemic, this was SO helpful!
This was a really great course and needed at a time when company cultures are diminishing due to economic crisis.
One word- Interesting? This course is general motivational info, not necessarily related to COVID. There were a couple of good stories:)
Great content! Lots of takeaways that can be applied immediately.
Other illumeo presenters should take this course! Awesome!
Very well done explaining job costs. I have been in manufacturing for 30+ years and highly recommend this to anyone just entering this sector.
Generally good advices and I hope the course can add more real life examples to support the theoretical system.
Excellent instructor! I look forward to taking more of his courses regarding non-profit organizations.
Quick session, to the point and so true! Great reminder of what is important and what to continue to focus on to be the best version of yourself.
I found that the power point did not have the take aways from the course.
I like Arlynne's execution. Her comparison to reality keep folks engaged.
The information is spoking in the presentation but not clearly documented so found the test hard to determine
This class was very informative, I like how they gave detailed examples to have a better understanding.
There should be a handout which can be referred to with more information that assists with the exam. This took longer than 3 hours.
Very helpful understanding the "why" behind some of these resources, as well as how to use them faster and more efficiently.
Explanation/presentation was very conversational and provided a lot of insight based on real experience with the legislation.
Good info. Print Screen + crop is an odd choice when we have paste picture and snip tools (not to mention what's cropped remains hidden and could embarrass someone if revealed). I really like the new functions and hope I can find a use for them. I think the new dynamic array stuff is not yet available on my 365 because it didn't work.
I wish I saw this training at my previous job. What a good, straightforward approach to managing the situation.
Review of Tasks was very helpful - will begin incorporating this tool into my daily and weekly recurring work.
The course had a lot of good information, although a significant amount was more of a refresher than new content. However, the concepts on integrating the functionality of Outlook into a more cohesive time management process was helpful.
Good content, however the feedback or paper moving really made it difficult at times.
Very useful for anyone who is considering implementing a workflow system.
Enjoyed the take away for me of the importance of a leader looking ahead to the future instead of focusing on what happened in the past.
Very good refresher! Must take it every few years. Very good coverage.
This was an excellent presentation of tools that are key to efficient payroll analysis. The student should invest personal time practicing the applications but the material could not have been presented better. The overview followed by the actual application in the worksheet was extremely helpful in following along. All excel courses should be taught this way. Slides were well formatted and are usable for future reference.
I really enjoy Ms. Diamond's trainings. Her tips are practical and actionable. I especially like that she suggests multiple ways to achieve an outcome, based on personal preference. I still like pen and paper. Thank you!
Good organization of tips. Nice to know I already use many of these, so it's nice to know I've had good mentors. But, there are some I can add. Good presentation, easy to listen to.
Great course. Stated prerequisite requirements were appropriate and sufficient. Program materials were relevant and contributed to the achievement of the learning objectives.
Good written material and fair questions on the exam.
This course helped me strengthen my understanding of IA fundamentals.
Great tips for Excel! Instructor has a very energetic and entertaining style!
A lot of detail and there are 64 questions in the final exam - make sure you take LOTS of notes.
Powerful tips. Been using Excel for years but still new stuff here.
Very useful as a practical guide and as a historical perspective (I was very involved with SOX work from the beginning until 2011, when my employer got bought by a European company).
Excellent way of presenting the course in an effective way
Was a good course but would recommend Taming Outlook over it.
This was one of the best courses I took - I really liked the fact that you could follow along with the instructor using the worksheets provided!
Duplication of efforts noted in having two separate teams to setup vendors or add/edit vendors.
Good information well presented. Critical information for all finance people to learn
David documents his points very thoroughly. His notes can be used for reference later to reinforce his teaching. I highly recommend him as an instructor.
I agree with another review of the course i've seen. Class and information is great, however the questions involve too many "which is these is not" true types of questions which can add confusion to the reader.
Excellent course lead by an effective instructor. Great content.
very good high level information for lending business details
Very cool course! Many really useful things have been explained.
Organized and well discussed topics, easy to follow and understand.
extremely high level. needs more examples of what can go wrong. More discussion about orders of magnitute effort and cost
I like the examples given in this course, which are detailed, and very realistic.
The material is useful but the instructor is monotone,which makes it difficult to stay engaged.
Especially appreciated the suggestions for feedback and meetings at the end of the presentation. Thanks Erin.
The course was interesting but could have been more organized and concise. The key concepts tested are spoken not listed on the slides.
I like seeing the screenshots of actions to be performed and then performing the actual actions live in Excel.
This is a very good introduction and summary of the new lease accounting standard, ASC 842. It does a nice job of walking through the actual transactions. However, the differences between the old and the new standard are not discussed in any detail. It would be nice to know exactly what has changed.
It would be helpful to have screenshots or a video of the instructor working through the exercise.
The hands-on application of regression analysis, though simplified, was helpful in understanding how to interpret the results
I like this course because I work for a Non-for-profit organization. It is helpful to understand the basics of tax exempt application and filling requirement.
Great course, learned about structuring big data and how to fit into spreadsheets.
This was a very basic, entry level course on budgeting. I did do a nice job discussing questions to ask when there are variances to budget.
Very informative and relate-able. Speaker was great as well.
The course makes it seem like these changes would be simple when in reality this is a very high level overview.
This class should be broken out into two classes. This is a lot of information for one class.
helpful to improve close timing. good insights on benefits of closing the books quicker.
This was a very good overview of the new lease accounting process with excellent examples.
Very insightful. I'll keep an eye out for her other content.
Helpful information on those pesky error messages that we tend to live with rather than fix.
Really helpful to see the side-by-side presentation with Formula based reports vs Pivot table reports
very good points and presented with great clarity and enthusiasm.
very informational in a short amount of time. if you pause and work the examples with Blair, i think you can really learn a lot in a short amount of time.
I was hoping for more examples of measuring forecast accuracy, but the content was useful.
Many supporting materials didn't open. Many supporting materials didn't open.
While I appreciated the course content, the course itself was slow paced. I would prefer faster pace.
This course is extremely helpful and Blair is a great presenter. I really enjoyed this one and will use this information immediately.
great course for definitions and basic understanding of forensic accounting
This course was very easy to follow and I gained greater insight on what type of leader I am.
Very nice - I like the course and the image of the flat file...as it is probably similar to what a lot of people are seeing.
Course content was good and the materials provided were helpful.
Absolutely wonderful course. I am going to take the deep dive on email. The activities button in contacts was worth the entire 1.5 hours. Wish he would of started with the views functionality. Still get confused on how to work this function and don't feel confident I have the most effective view on all of my screens.
good course except that the presenter's screen was blurry and I couldn't see clearly
It is a very good course. I strongly recommend. It shows what CPAs need to know in business. Easy to understand.
Thoroughly enjoyed the detailed analysis of excel functions and shortcuts. Excel is such an underutilized tool for data analytics.
Much prefer video presentations. Case facts are much more obvious than typical fraud cases. CPA should never practice again demonstrating no knowledge and/or interest in identifying basis of fair financial presentation or uncovering significant issues with client financials.
audio was not the best and made his accent even harder to understand. he was reading a script very poorly and not presenting / chatting with the listener.
Good Information, started to drift during the conclusion!
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor
Good general information, but nothing specific is talked about. It's more to help you think of how you could use and set up a one pager in your own company.
The course is excellent, it adds a different perspective in the function of the CAE as part of the company.
Excellent course and helpful in many ways. Can there be another course from this instructor on how to handle Q&A when presenting financial information?
The pace is slow, but this is a thorough review of basic accounting.
I enjoyed the comparison examples of AICPA statements to a more useful format for non-financial users. I also thought it was interesting to see how many things should be included besides just the big 3 financial statements to make the data more meaningful. I will be checking out the references provided also.
The speaker has provided very nice explanation with examples.
Really helpful course with relevant information to use every day.
Comprehensive overview with detailed steps to a good fraud mitigation program. Instructor laid out what was to be covered and then covered it.
I wish instructor took some time to spell out some of conditions in functions he was demonstrating
Great review. Covered a lot of points to remember and implement as needed.
I love how you used very clear and specific examples! Thank you Leslie!
It seemed that slides were not in order. For example, the review of the first question was not presented until the final section. Also, 120/240 equals 50% not 240/120, which equals 2, as shown on the slides.
Very thorough and valuable information. I noticed after I was part way into the course that the copyright mark is 2015 so I wonder what's different in 2017? I'll have to look into it....
The training was well organized and was probably the best Ethics course i have taken.
A right to the point course with good examples and explanations. Everything is explained in the pdf material also. He talks fast but clear.
Good topic.
good general information
Great Course
Really great structure of what can sometimes become an emotionally charged conflict.
great suggestions
na
Slides very helpful. Information very thorough.
Information was well presented. Length of coursework didn't exceed what was communicated.
Good information especially for someone new to accounting.
Solution for problems - if you can show via formulas with data input or in excel that would be very helpful
Excellent, great summary
This is an extremely high level view of how to execute a fast close.
It was very knowledgeable.
Good information. Would like to have more detail on slides so that can use later when setting up spreadsheets.
Kind of slow moving
liked the convenience; it was good information
Well organized and presented.
Very useful.
Good overview.
i like this format, i am able to stop, execute the steps or review the material over again. Thanks for putting this together. If you add a document with relevant links that might be a good add.
I finally understand how to use the Dupont Equation
Excellent coverage of the topic.
Interesting useful information
This course covered some seemingly basic concepts that are huge time savers if you are unaware of them.
Great, thorough explanations and examples
Very basic if you're a CPA.
Very interesting and helpful!
Quick guide to organise and stop distractions
Basics
Basic tips but useful
Presenter speaks a little fast
it was nice
Great tips!
I truly enjoyed the review, it included advance and basic information where anyone from any point could gain some new information and follow along.
Great presentation!
Helpful
People Management
Great overview. Lost of information that I will use in selling ePayables and P cards at my organization.
Excellent course
Use of Tasks was most helpful for me. I used them in the past, but can see how helpful they can be. Will start using again.
Enjoyed it.
Too much time spent discussing the presenter's qualifications
Good overview.
Although, I thought I understood the course material, I had a heck of a time passing the test, which is unusual.
Excellent! Some great content - how have I used outlook for so long and not known this stuff. I also liked the swift paced presentation. Great job. I've been using tasks for about 6 months - but this is a whole new level!!!
Good material, boring delivery. It was hard not to fall asleep.
Very detailed and easy to follow.
Test questions were not captured in the presentation materials.
Excellent overview about risks and things to look into.
Great course!
Very good tips
It was pretty straight forward and not very time consuming. Also very informative.
Good!
Great course!
Well written. Powerpoint needs polishing.
A bit dry but did have some useful material.
Great energy and good material!
Spent too much time on simple functions like EOMonth (the worst function ever).
This is a great course for someone who needs an overview of different tasks you can do in outlook. I plan to take the next so I can delve down deeper and become more efficient.
Great tips
Drag and drop. Task features and categories that interact with emails.
The course is too basic for a CPA.
Very helpful!
Great overview with enough details to ensure understanding, but not overwhelm the audience.
Easy, useful tips for excel workbooks - anyone building workbooks could use this course.
We like the enthusiasm of the narrator. Last section went too fast (conditional formatting)
Some great tips.
A bit of a rehash of Part 1 - but still a valuable rehash Got to love Excel for this one :)
Learned areas of chart that I did not realize could be easily transformed for simplicity. Good to have a verbal, showing number sequence and then a follow through with Excel in motion. Good job!
easy to understand, difficult to hear on certain ear buds
I liked the instructor's delivery and enthusiasm for the material.
Excellent presentation on presentations. I did a one-pager of notes on his great concepts and will definitely be using going forward. Very helpful in thinking through the best way to deliver a message.
Excellent content, format and presentation. Some new tricks for this old dog!
Some repetitive material
Enjoyed the examples used to emphasis points of discussion.
Overview level, could be more in-depth
It will be great to include all worksheets for all examples.
Like the format of 'quote' and then analysis
Mr. Turner demonstrated a comprehensive budgeting solution in Excel which could work well if it is monitored and managed carefully.
nice review of strategic concepts
Excellent course. I thought I knew a lot about outlook but I learned a few new tricks.
Helpful information to efficiently manage emails.
great course!
a lot are self explanatory
good course
Please match the speaker with the slide transitions and slow down the pace.
This course was excellent!
As is true for his other sessions, this has a tremendous amount of material which can be somewhat overwhelming. Good stuff, though.
The course is great, however, the video sometimes disconnect in the middle and have to wait and drag to make it work
l like learn about this course and subject We will follow full courses for an intense love thank you very much
It would be better if the items were shown in motion (vs. the slide with numbers). Also the sound quality was a bit poor.
For a true beginner like myself, the material was perfect.
Very basic information. Good information for non-accountants
Very helpful. I like the approach of "how would you answer this question?" as the driver for QlikView functionality. I was looking for more details around expense reporting, but the SBG view was very interesting. Thank you Paul!
Another excellent course from David Ringstrom.
great overview.
material to reivew more than once to understand the logic is interesting
Great overview of the ODM Team's role in the GTM process!
Class was a little slow...instructor restated his name, title, title of the class at each section of course.
it was a really good course and I learned alot from it
The information is great!! There is not a lot of deviation in the tone of the speaker so it can be hard to keep focused.
Great course. Demonstrations make it easy to understand and instructor is fun to listen to.
Very good class
The history of ethics violations was very interesting and demonstrates the importance and relevance in the business world!
I liked the pacing of the course, it starts simple and builds to the most complex. By the time you get to the complex you feel ready for it. I had not taken an earlier course so I was lost on a few of the shortcuts that were heavily referenced, but that was a minor problem.
I liked the course and the worksheets to work along with the video. Very helpful.
A lot of useful information for anyone. I learned a lot and hope to use soon. Surprised how often people look at their emails and are interrupted with them.
Very informative course. I was suprised to find out who the most likely were to commit fraud. I think everyone would gain from taking this course. Be careful with the exam to read the question more than once before answering.
Awesome. Randy is a great instructor. He's quirky, to the point and overall entertaining.
Loved the instructor!
A good refresher for Vlookup, however, The IFNA Function module seems to have completely repeated itself and is twice as long as the information actually is.
Great overview of Outlook factional tools. I love the instructor's personal stories and positive personality. Easy directions to follow and great content.
Great information for someone looking to help their company develop an investment policy and manage the investment process.
Every company out there should make the effort to do a Fraud Assessment as it is not a matter of IF Fraud will happen at your company - but when (or has it already happened?). Lynn provided a great background on what companies should do to get the ball rolling.
Good amimated speaker.
great course
