Accelerated Microsoft Excel Certificate Program
In partnership with Graceland University
As big data continues its explosive growth — and demand for professionals with strong Excel skills continues to soar — improving your proficiency is more important than ever.
If you’re like most Excel users, you’ve been building skills for years — on the job, largely through trial and error. As a result, you may have only been able to tap a fraction of Excel’s capabilities.
That’s why we designed this accelerated Excel certificate program. The focused, instructor-led training will advance your knowledge of Excel as you learn how to use the full range of its powerful features.
Brought to you by SkillPath in partnership with Graceland University, this ALL-NEW virtual certificate program is a series of 5 LIVE, online, instructor-led sessions that immerse you in the best practices for designing modern, professional workbooks that manage, calculate, communicate and analyze your data. (The program is for users with intermediate knowledge of Excel and goes beyond basic introductory material.)
Engaged, active learning: Dynamic 3-hour sessions deliver lively, interactive training daily. Log into sessions from any device and you’ll still have time left in your day to put what you’ve learned into practice. Then if you’d like, you can report back to your instructor and fellow participants the next day to share your experiences and ask any questions you might have. This unique, feedback-enabled format helps to reinforce learning and strengthen your retention of vital concepts — so they stick.
Earn a Professional Certificate: By the end of the week, your enhanced skills will make you a standout among Excel users. And you’ll receive a signed Certificate of Completion, along with a digital eBadge to display your new skills and competencies.
To get the most from this Excel course, we recommend Microsoft Excel for Microsoft 365.
