Course Description
Excel 2016 Advanced Skills Course
With most software programs on the market today, you can thrive with just a basic knowledge of the tools and options built into the individual program. However, that is not necessarily true when it comes to Excel 2016.
Excel is a complex, yet easy-to-use spreadsheet program that contains a multitude of much-needed tools with very advanced options. While it's true that you can create an attractive spreadsheet and use simple formulas in Excel with very little experience, that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what Excel can truly do. In order to be able to successfully use the program to create spreadsheets, enter data, and maintain that data, you must have more than basic knowledge. This course gives you the advanced skills you need to be able to fully use the program.
This course is for the intermediate student who has already mastered the basic skills needed to use Excel 2016 and wants to gain more advanced skills to put to work in a business environment or for personal use.

Student Testimonials
- "I really enjoyed this Course as I've always been interested in learning more about Excel, and this fueled my interest and desire to learn more. The main feature of your Courses is the dual option content of reading about the topic chapter, and then watching the video ( to see the demonstration of what was discussed) about the text. This is key, and based on my preferred visual learning style, it's far more effective than reading a chapter in an Excel text book." -- Richard B.
