About the Course

This course explores different time series business forecasting methods. The course covers a variety of business forecasting methods for different types of components present in time series data — level, trending, and seasonal. We will learn about the theoretical methods and apply these methods to business data using Microsoft Excel. These forecasting methods will be programmed into Microsoft Excel, displayed graphically, and we will optimise these models to produce accurate forecasts. We will compare different models and their forecasts to decide which model best suits our business' needs....

The course content is just superb, and the way the faculty is teaching the course is just fantastic. I did not find any course on time series forecasting having such kind of conceptual clarity.

Outstanding course. The instructor explains the concepts very well, and breaks down the concepts into pieces that can be understood easily.

Practice exercise difficulty should be increased. More varieties of sample data also warranted. Overall, a very good experience.

Too much focus on decimal points and basic tasks in Excel. Poor quality control on course materials (power points, worksheets, and tests)

Very disappointing course.  It only goes through manually creating calculations and doesn’t delve into any of the forecast functions, not even forecast.ets!!!!.  It also makes a couple of foundational mistakes on the decomposition method.  I got halfway through the second course and gave up as a waste of time for anyone who has done even a little bit of investigation into forecasting/demand planning.  You'll be much better off researching Youtube. I had high hopes because I enjoyed other Maquarie courses for Excel but this one is not the same quality.

PS, Almost as much time is spent on quizzes as on learning.
