Millions of people around the world use Microsoft® Excel® on a daily basis. But how many of those people can really claim to excel at Excel? I’m not just talking about getting things done, but taking full advantage of Excel’s features to work as efficiently as possible.
You know the ones who have a template for everything, neatly arranged with formulas and macros, so they can generate perfect reports at the click of a button. Have you ever dreamed of being one of them? With the Excel On Steroids 2013 online courses from the Sage Intelligence Academy, you can. I did!
Tailored, anytime, anywhere courses
I’d always considered my Excel skills to be average, until a new position meant that I needed to go from average user to super user. Fast. My wish list was simple. I needed a course comprehensive enough to cover all the Excel functionality I needed for my new business reporting tasks, with enough flexibility for me to skim over things I already knew. Time off work for classroom training was out of the question, but I knew that trying to teach myself or learn on the job was a recipe for disaster.
A skeptic by nature, I signed up for one of the Excel On Steroids 2013 online courses (there are three in total, which you can either purchase individually or bundled), fearing that it might reams of PDF documents or hours of instructional videos. A few lessons in – in my own time and in the comfort of my home – I was hooked!
Interactive, hands-on learning experience
Each Excel On Steroids 2013 online course comprises ten or so lessons. The lessons each cover a different topic, from basic things like setting up data tables and workbooks, to complex tasks like inserting slicers into PivotCharts and writing complex, nested formulae.
My favourite feature of the Excel On Steroids 2013 online courses is the interactive exercises in each lesson. Getting a chance to put the theory I’d just learned into practice helped me understand how each feature works in the real world. The courses include a downloadable User Manual and workbook if you want to practice with additional exercises.
Helping you work smarter
Just as importantly as teaching you what to do, the Excel On Steroids 2013 online courses are filled with tips and shortcuts to teach you how to do things as efficiently as possible. These alone have given me back weeks of my life.
If you have ever had the sneaking suspicion that there has to be a faster way to accomplish something in Excel, the Excel On Steroids 2013 online courses are your opportunity to find out, and to truthfully be able to boast that you excel at Excel.
