What is Excel?

View All Micosoft Excel Courses

Microsoft Excel is a software program that is included in the Microsoft Office suite. It can be used to create spreadsheets, which are documents that allow users to organize data into rows and columns. Excel analysis is ubiquitous and used widely by businesses of all sizes to build robust teams and generate quality reporting. It is one of the most popular software programs and is used by approximately 750 million people worldwide.

Why Excel Training?

Any organization that utilizes and collects data of any kind can benefit from equipping their workforce with Excel training. It can be used to organize information and access it quickly. It also allows for the digitizing of virtually all types of data that may otherwise have been stored on paper or via a system that cannot be accessed at any time from anywhere. Quantitative data can be visualized, evaluated, and manipulated via easy-to-read spreadsheets. Employees can use Excel to generate tracking system, balance financial and inventory accounts, present reporting, and provide solutions via data interpretation. Knowledge of this multi-functional program is practically expected of strong leaders at all levels, so workforce upskilling is imperative.

Off-the-Shelf or Customized?

Both off-the-shelf and customized Excel training is available. Off-the-shelf training courses are pre-designed without the specific needs of your workforce taken into account. No two organizations are exactly the same, and a customized Excel training program tailored to your company is also an option. These courses allow for flexibility and emphasis on using Excel to achieve your business goals and develop strong leaders with comprehensive arsenals of IT skills. A customized workforce upskilling experience can target varying levels of familiarity with Excel, from beginner to intermediate to advanced, so that employee time is not spent relearning information with which they are already familiar.
