Learn the building blocks of Excel so you can set up clean worksheets and perform dependable calculations with this Excel course for beginners.


Through this course, you will discover the fundamentals of Microsoft Excel, building the confidence to create clear, well‑structured spreadsheets. You’ll gain an understanding of how to organise data, apply formulas, and present information effectively, helping you complete everyday tasks with accuracy and efficiency.

You will learn the ideas behind cell referencing, then practise structuring data so it is easy to read and maintain. You will construct basic formulas with common functions, apply clear formatting and build simple charts that explain a point. 
 
We look at tools that help when sheets grow, including viewing options, sorting and filtering, and working across multiple sheets without losing track. You will also learn how Excel handles dates and times, how to create and use tables, and how to apply basic protection to keep important elements safe.
 
By the end of this Excel fundamentals course, you will be able to organise data, perform everyday calculations and prepare tidy, shareable workbooks.
Module 1: Foundations and navigation
Module 2: Formulas, functions and formatting
Module 3: Working with data at scale
Module 4: Tables, dates, charts and protection

There is no formal exam for this course. Learning is supported through guided discussion, practical examples and scenario-based activities across the day. Following the course you will receive a certificate of completion to include in your professional development file.
