Who is this course for?
This course is designed for anyone who wants to stop being intimidated by Excel and start using it as a simple, powerful tool to organize their daily life. We created this course specifically for the absolute beginner, with no corporate jargon—just practical, real-world applications.
This course is perfect for you if you are:
- An absolute beginner who has never or rarely opened Excel and finds the blank grid intimidating. We start from square one!
- A student or young professional looking to get a firm grip on your personal budget, track your assignments, and manage your projects without needing complicated software.
- The head of your household who wants one central place to manage the family budget, organize chore charts, plan vacations, or keep track of important lists.
- Anyone feeling financially disorganized who wants a simple, step-by-step system to understand where their money is going and feel more in control of their savings.
- A professional in a non-financial role (like marketing, HR, project management, or administration) who knows that having practical Excel skills will make you more efficient and valuable at work.
- Someone who has tried to learn Excel before from other tutorials but got lost in complex functions that didn’t apply to your everyday life. This course is different—it’s all about you.
Course Structure:
The course is divided into 6 modules, each building upon the last. Every module includes short video lessons and a hands-on project to immediately apply what you’ve learned as you can use excel in the professional and personal setting.
