Microsoft 365 Excel — Introduction
A structured one-day course covering the core Excel skills your team needs to work accurately from day one. Taught by a specialist with direct experience of how Excel is used across finance, operations, and professional services — not a generic IT trainer.
Available as a scheduled open course or scoped as a private team session with sector-specific examples built in.
Foundational skills built for real work
This course covers the core Excel knowledge that separates accurate, efficient work from costly manual errors. Every topic is grounded in the kinds of tasks your team actually faces — data entry, formula logic, structured tables, and clear reporting.
Online, in-person, hybrid, or international remote delivery. Private team sessions include sector-specific examples scoped to your organisation's workflows.
Participants receive a Curious Computing certificate of completion. Assessment is practical and embedded throughout the session — no formal exam required at introductory level.
