Our courses are popular among financial analysts, CFO’s, and business owners

In addition to these backgrounds, our ranks are filled with lawyers, managers, civil engineers, freelancers and husbands & wives.

You can see how no matter your reason for wanting to learn Excel, you’re in the right place.

We serve so many people from all different backgrounds. Recently we surveyed our audience, and we were blown away by all the different professions.

What if you’ve been using Excel for many years?

You’ve been using Excel for many years, and you want practical ideas to work more efficiently? You’d like to discover little-known features that have been in hiding?

This course will be a game changer for your job.

This is an excellent course for a newbie or someone who is an intermediate user.

As Excel has expanded and grown, many features have also expanded and grown. This course helped me catch up and put it all together to bridge my old knowledge with new knowledge about the program.

Reason 2 – We Speak Excel in Plain English * (Not Robot-Talk)

It’s all too common to read a blog article about Excel and think, “What the heck did I just read?”

It sounds gibberish.

Too often, reading Excel training is like reading a technical manual for your home furnace. You’d have to be an engineer to understand it.

That’s not a recipe for success if you’re an everyday person.

Our students love that we talk to them like human beings – no robots. We’re not here to program you. We’re here to teach you.

“Don’t use a five-dollar word when a fifty-cent word will do.”

Mark Twain

Mark Twain makes a good point. Why use a technical word when we can use a simple, everyday word? Rest assured, you won’t find overly-technical or stuffy or pretentious language around here. No way!

You’ll get things explained plain English. No “filler content,” either. You’re a busy person, so we get right to the point.

If you want a real-world, plain-spoken teacher – and not some stuffy academic type – you’re in the right place.

* If English is not your first language, that’s okay. We constantly hear from students about how easy it is to follow our lessons – despite their shaky grasp of English. Each lecture includes English captions and you can slow down the speed of the videos if you need to.

I first thought that I would not be able to keep up with the course and understand it, but thanks to the structure of the course, it has made it possible for me. I can now accomplish tasks for my work and help my coworkers with any Excel questions they might have.

But There Is One Final Reason So Many Students Choose Us (and keep choosing us)

When you join one of our courses, you’re not alone. The old type of online course (waaaay back in 2019) made you wander the lessons like a survivor in The Walking Dead. “Where is everybody” you’d think.

Well, it’s 2023, and the world has changed.

You’ll log into our courses and find lively, active discussions. You’ll see our friendly teaching assistants answering questions.

You may not think this is a big deal, but who knows when you might have a question? Who knows what tip you might pick up from another student? Who knows… maybe you’ll be the one chiming in to answer questions, helping your fellow students in the comment section?

Students are demanding more from online courses. When you trust us for your education, you’re not just getting a course — you’re getting a community.

Yes, you get a bunch! It’s a safe bet that if you need help with a topic in Excel, you’ll find it covered in these lessons.

At the same time, this curriculum may intimidate you. Don’t let it. Let me explain…

Three Ways to Fail with this Excel Training

We’ve made it as easy as possible to learn Excel, but dangers still lurk along your path. Don’t fall prey to one of these common Excel pitfalls.

Pitfall #1: Trying to complete the entire course start to finish

Treat this course more like an Encyclopedia (remember those?). You wouldn’t open an Encyclopedia and start reading cover to cover.

Instead, when you log into this Excel Essentials Training Course, scroll down the lessons. See what jumps out at you, and dive into whatever looks appealing.

Now, I do recommend going through the two modules (the Intro & Tour of Excel) to get familiar with the basics. But after that, see what strikes your fancy.

Pitfall #2: Not taking your new skills for a test drive

Imagine that for the past month, when you’ve had some time to yourself, you’ve been opening YouTube navigating to your “How to Dance” playlist (you know you’ve had the urge).

The next day, you get a letter in the mail – an invitation to your cousin’s wedding. Time to bust out your new moves!

Sure, it may be a little scary. So maybe you start with something safe. Maybe you just bob your head from left to right. Over time, as you get better & more comfortable, you might throw in a spin move.

It’s the same thing with learning Excel. You’re learning fun new skills – try them out! Before you know it, you’ll have moves like Mick Jagger.

Pitfall #3: Not Asking for Help

This is a biggie…

Please, if you get stuck, don’t ghost. Are you new to online courses and afraid you’ll have trouble navigating around? Send an email to our support desk asap. We’ll help you out.

Stuck on an Excel formula and can’t figure out why you keep getting errors? Post a comment in our forum. Another student or one of our friendly teaching assistants will come to your rescue.

It’s okay to not know the answer. You’re not supposed to. But it’s not okay to stay silent. Fortunately, we make it fast and easy for you to get help. Just ask.

Find Your Baseline With Our Pre-Assessment Test

Once you enroll in the Excel Essentials Training Course, you’ll have the opportunity to take a pre-assessment test. This way you can assess your current knowledge and check for gaps.

Once you complete the assessment you’ll get your score.

👀 Don’t worry! Your score is not shared with anyone. This test is only for you and your own progress.

Once you’ve completed the course, come back to this test and take it again. Note your score and document your progress.

Aside from tracking your progress, the benefit of a pre-assessment test is to help you pay closer attention as you learn.

Plus you’ll get an additional post-assessment test for a more comprehensive check.

That’s not all. We also have a Post-Assessment Test for you!

To make sure you haven’t missed important parts, we’ve added a separate post-assessment test for you.

In case you missed something, we’ll tell you which part of the course you need to revisit – like this:

Both tests are optional of course. You can skip them if you’d like.

If you’re on the fence about joining, maybe these awesome bonuses will put you over the edge.

Bonus – Excel Manual

When you enroll, in addition to the videos, you’ll get the entire Excel Essentials Training Course as an eBook. Your detailed manual (240 pages) takes you step by step through the course. This way you can read & review when you like.

(You’ll get this bonus 30 days after enrollment)

You’ll also get organized Workbooks to Practice as you go through each Section:

Along the way I will challenge you to apply what you learnt to solve a practical problem:

You’ll also get cheat sheets that summarize the most important points for you:

⏫ Beam Me Up, Scotty!
Jump into the Topic You Need – Fast

I told you I was a Star Trek fan…

Watching the show, I was always in awe of the transporter technology. It blew my mind how they could spot a nearby planet, then instantly transport their team to that exact location.

I want your experience inside our Excel Essentials Training course to be just as instantaneous.

Thanks to a new tool we created here in our XelPlus “laboratory.” Now, when you want to find a topic, you can do so instantly. We’ve gone through every second of every lesson and pulled out the key words & topics.

Then, we created an interactive agenda which allows you to quickly locate exactly what you’re looking for. Once you find your topic, it’s simply a matter of saying “Beam me up!” (not actually required to say this).

Click the link and you’ll instantly be transported to the correct lesson and timestamp.

No more wasting hours searching. Find what you need, then get back to work.
