Overview

What this course is about

Learn Excel from the beginning with a personal teacher who shows every step on a shared screen. This practical Basic Excel course covers workbooks, worksheets, rows, columns, cell formatting, tables, sorting and filtering. You will practise entering customer lists, attendance sheets, stock registers and simple expense records, so the lessons connect directly with office work, data entry and MIS tasks rather than only theory.

Build confidence with essential formulas and clean spreadsheet habits. You will work with relative and absolute cell references, SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, IF, SUMIF, basic percentage calculations, dates and text functions. Exercises also cover data validation, conditional formatting, simple charts and print settings, helping you prepare readable reports that another person can check and use without confusion. These skills make everyday spreadsheet work easier to review and maintain.

Classes are live one-on-one, with flexible timing between 7 AM and 9 PM or on weekends. Your teacher can review practice files, correct errors and adapt examples for accounts, administration, sales or study needs. On completion, you receive a certificate.
