Amazing! The course covers everything that I expected and more about Microsoft Vision. It's a lot of content that makes you able to do basically whatever you can in Microsoft Visio. With very objectives and very organized videos, you can understand better not only the software but also get some tips about Microsoft Office overall. Highly recommend it!
