Getting Started with Excel (Live, Instructor-Led Training)

Excel is still the most widely used business tool in the world—but most people were never properly taught how to use it.

This course is designed for:

• Beginners
• Business users who learned Excel “on the job”
• Professionals who want a solid foundation before moving into data analysis, Power Query, or AI-assisted workflows

Getting Started with Excel focuses on practical, everyday skills you’ll use immediately at work.

What You’ll Learn

• Entering and formatting data correctly
• Writing basic formulas and understanding how calculations work

This is not a lecture-heavy class. You’ll learn by doing, with guided practice and real examples.
