" ... a big thank you for this really nice and helpful Excel course! It was a pleasure to take."
We start easy, go slow, and build each lesson on the last – before you know it you'll be an Excel nerd.
"This is the first Excel course that I have looked forward to doing as it's so engaging and interesting! The way it's delivered takes away the 'boring' feeling of spreadsheet lessons and really has you listening and even wanting more. I learned so many things that I had no idea about and I’m excited to use these skills in my job."
It takes time to become proficient at one of the most complicated and important software tools in the world. We're not going to lie and say we can teach you Excel in an hour. The kicker is, you need to be patient and do the work, until the end. But it's only 14 hours long. Game of Thrones is 63.5 hours all up, so there's no excuses! If you watch the videos, read the summary sheets, do the quizzes and practise sheets (like Lucy), we believe that you will understand Excel better than most people. Lucy is this course's first student. At the start she couldn't use Excel, now she can. Soon it will be you that colleagues ask for Excel help!
YouTube is great for tips and quick fixes. But it's not a learning platform. Our course is hosted on Thinkific – a place designed to help online students succeed. You'll stay motivated by tracking your progress, and doing quizzes and exercises to reinforce the lessons. By the end you will *understand* Excel – not just know some buttons and functions. Free tips and tricks will only get you so far. We'll give you the deep knowledge you'll rely on throughout your career.
Johnny took a lot of care preparing the lesson plans. The curriculum covers a manageable range of functions, features, keyboard shortcuts, and techniques. We'll give you the fundamentals you need, and none of the stuff you don't.
An excellent idea! Bosses often have training budgets they need to spend and aren't sure how. If not, maybe you could claim it as a tax deduction. It'll depend if Excel is central to your job. Ask your accountant (or check your government's tax website) if this course counts as work-related self-education.
The average length is about 15 minutes – bite-sized so they're couch/commute-friendly.
You get full access to this course, forever, in one easy payment. Including to any new content we may add. Our money-back guarantee applies within 7 days of purchase. No questions asked.
No. We use a Mac with Office 365. But Excel is basically the same on PCs apart from the shortcut keys and the layout of some areas. We highlight this where relevant.
They inspired the first section of this course. And they kept us sane while we were making it. Thank you ladies.

“I completed the course last week and it's excellent. Easy to follow and even though I consider myself an advanced Excel user ... I actually learned quite a few new things I had no idea about. I have already signed both of my parents up as they are aware of Excel, but want to understand Excel properly and the initial feedback from them is also excellent. I thoroughly approve.”
What a wonderful course. The information is clear and well-considered, the course is organized effectively, and the presenters have a delightful rapport. Hig...
