I really like how Kyle teaches, he takes the time to explain every concept. He is also straight to the point. That course is a very nice introduction to Excel macros and VBA for beginners. After this course you should feel confident to create your first macros and play around with VBA. Be aware that some of the shared files aren't up to date so you might little different with what you have and what is shown in the videos (mainly in names).
