This course in Excel 2013 will allow a novice user to quickly become a confident spreadsheet user. Highly practical, you can be applying your new skills within minutes of learning a concept.

Having taught IT for over 20 years I've identified the key aspects and you will benefit from my experience. You will find my videos straight to the point and that I explain all concepts in simple terms rather than getting too technical or using IT jargon. Wherever possible I provide practical examples to demonstrate where the concept being explored can be applied. I have taught these concepts to 1000s of students during my career and now would like to give you the opportunity to also learn some new, valuable and employable workplace skills

The course consists of a brief overview of each concept and short, sharp videos covering the key points for all topics. Additionally, there is a practical, self-marked activity for you to complete and three videos showing me completing the task should you encounter difficulties.

Major topics include:
