Content and Overview   

I designed this Excel course to be easily understood by absolute beginners. Even if you are self-taught, in this comprehensive course we will cover together the right ways to use a spreadsheet efficiently and quickly.   

We start with the basics of the Excel workbook and learn how to become confident in moving around quickly. We continue with Inserting, Hiding and Deleting and then look at the right method of performing Calculations.   

Ever wonder why your formulas are not consistent? We’ll learn how to make them reliable and work every time – you’ll be amazed at just how easy it is. You will be able to choose how much you see by using Filters, and impress your peers by adding a Chart in a couple of clicks.   

We finish up with a clear method of ensuring you only print what you want. By the end of the course you will be confident in using any version of Excel and capable of harnessing the power of this amazing software. You will be able to make Excel do what YOU want, not be a slave to what IT wants!   

Complete with the actual working files I use, you'll be able to work alongside me and will receive a verifiable certificate of completion upon finishing the course.

    Clear explanations and I can now open Excel and start filling the worksheet without doing 23 hours course. If you are looking for an introduction with all the necessary stuff to know it's a perfect place to start. Some things were difffrent from the modern version of Excel in 2025, but you easily guess how it's done in modern interface. The teaching style is very engaging.
