Introduction to Excel
Many people use Excel every day but have never received formal training. Instead, they learn through trial and error, often using only a fraction of the software’s capabilities. Introduction to Excel builds the confidence and essential skills needed to work more efficiently, accurately and professionally with spreadsheets.
Through practical exercises and real-world examples, participants will learn how to create, manage and format spreadsheets, use formulae confidently and organise information more effectively. They will also explore how Excel and AI-powered tools can work together to improve productivity, automate routine tasks and support more informed decision-making.
