Over five years ago, I took my first steps into Google Sheets and Apps Script through Ben’s courses, and that really marked a turning point in my professional journey. What started as simple curiosity ended up becoming a core part of my work. Today, these technologies underpin the systems I build for my CommunitySensor methodology, supporting data-driven mapping and sensemaking of collaboration ecosystems. While I’ve continued learning from many sources over the years, Ben’s courses were the ones that gave me the initial confidence to start building my own automation tools. I’m currently deepening my skills further with his Modern Google Sheets and 28 Days to Gemini Mastery courses, and I still recognize the same qualities that made his earlier courses so valuable: his gentle, encouraging way of guiding you through the material, his professionalism, and his well-timed sense of humor. He doesn’t just explain things, he helps you grow into them, giving you the confidence to explore, experiment, and build your own solutions.

I’m currently completing the '28 Days to Gemini Mastery' course, and it has been incredibly insightful. The content is a perfect blend of refreshing my existing knowledge, giving me the confidence I lacked, and introducing me to powerful tools I didn’t even know existed. Applying these new skills is already helping me streamline the 'boring' admin tasks in my role. Ben is a fantastic instructor; he moves at a perfect pace and explains complex points with great clarity and understanding.

Ben Collins' 28 Days to Gemini Mastery course is a must for anyone who wants to get up to speed quickly on using Gemini. I am a little over half way through the course and have upped my skills significantly. In particular, I want to point out The Day 8: Advanced Prompting course. Ben's recommendation to structure your prompt using his Role, Goal, Context, Constraints, Output (RGCCO) method provides noticeably output from your chat with Gemini. I am looking forward to completing the course and will add to my review at that time.

I rely on Ben Collin's courses to keep up with all of Google's empowering new tools. 28 Days to Gemini Mastery is fun, easy to follow, and instantly upgrades my habits. I chose this course primarily to build agents, and everything along the way has been full of sparkly nerd gold bling.

As usual with Ben Collins, this is a brilliant course. He always manages to keep the lessons short but comprehensive. No fluff! I feel that the technical level is perfect too. Thoroughly enjoyable and the scariness of our new AI world has been moderated greatly. Thanks Ben!

This course was outstanding! It offered just-in-time learning that perfectly fit my schedule. The content was engaging and effectively demonstrated how Gemini integrates into the Google Workspace ecosystem. I appreciated the excellent examples that highlighted the differences between Gemini for education and its consumer version. I highly recommend this course and all the offerings from Ben Collins!

28 days to Gemini Mastery - very practical and informative, I'm learning a lot which will help me and, by extension, our small team, get the most out of our Google subscription. The Canvas feature in Google Sheets blew my mind :)

5-Stars. These Gemini tutorials are helping me realize my dreams by demonstrating robust new ways to go from concept to reality. This series is so much more than just prompt engineering - and it even improves your approach to those!

Really good course, they're short and sweet without the fluff. I feel more empowered to do more automated things as a product owner and not use spreadsheets as if it was 2010 all over again.

I signed up for "Beginner Apps Script" right after completing Ben's "Introduction to Google Apps Script" course. If you're thinking about signing up for this course and you've completed the "Intro" course: do it. While Ben does review topics from the Intro course, he goes into much deeper information on those topics (so if there was a moment you went 'Huh?', it makes so much more sense here!). Further, this course. has really opened up a passion -- that I didn't know was there! -- into programming, and I've begun to learn Python! It's kinda cool learning a new language and seeing how the ideas Ben taught here connect! Thanks again, Ben!!

I teach coding to middle school students, this year focusing on using Google Sheets to create Relational Databases. I also use Google Sheets for many tasks in the Admissions, Development and Business office of our school. Ben's enthusiasm for the various topics in this course is FABULOUS, and I can regularly be heard yelling "that's awesome!" while watching the videos (much to my officemates' amusement). I've shared some of what I've learned in this class not only with my students, but with colleagues and other spreadsheet-geek friends. Having the sample sheets for each topic has also helped me go back and really use a function in my own work.

As always, Ben has developed and delivered a high-quality and content-rich accessible course to enhance the users knowledge of Google Sheets. This practical set of lessons and examples are easy to follow, yet complex enough to know you are really learning how to best leverage sheets for a variety of purposes. I really appreciated the attention in leveraging generative AI in conjuction with Sheets. I consistently recommend his courses to colleagues looking to further their understanding and use of Sheets, Apps Script and more! Great job once again, Ben!

We transitioned from a Microsoft Office to Google Workspace a few years ago. I had the Excel skills, but I wanted to become more productive in Google Sheets. Ben Collins has the best courses!!! I get all my Google certifications through his program. I'm currently earning my certification is his newest class called Modern Google Sheets. I'm so impressed with the results so far that I have already put them into practice at work (literally right now), and I can't wait to share them with my team.

I've already been using AI in google sheets via one of the add-ons mentioned in this course, but there is still quite a bit more to learn. Ben's course is full of helpful tips to start using in a daily workflow. I would definitely recommend this course... especially if Google Apps Script isn't your thing!!

Even 5 years later (I completed it in 2025) this course is still very much relevant. Ben is an excellent teacher and the project at the end was a perfect starting point for a larger portfolio project.

Introduction To Google Apps Script - Is a great course for people like myself who is trying to start their journey in coding. Ben is really informative and the energy he gave was encouraging.

Dear Ben, I really appreaciate your course. I was able to grasp foundamentals easily thanks to your clean explanation. I am still worrking on inproving my skills and will continue learning Apps script. It would be greate to have a course focused on downloading data from webpages and process it for business purposes. All in all thanks for the effort to pass on your knowledge. Regards, Nikola.

Really fascinating course. Gets to the heart of the nuts and bolts of using the lambda functions. I had seen videos on YouTube about them, but none of them explained them as well as Ben does. I can't believe this course was FREE! Top notch!
