Excel 2013 Level 1

Days of Training: 1

Course Description
Excel 2013 Level 1 provides the basic concepts and skills to start being productive with Microsoft Excel 2010: how to create, save, share, and print worksheets that contain various kinds of calculations and formatting. This course, and the two that come after, map to the objectives of the Microsoft Office Specialist and Expert exams for Excel 2013.

Students will benefit most from this course if they want to accomplish basic workplace tasks in Excel 2013, or if they want to have a solid foundation for continuing on to become an Excel Expert. If they intend to take a Microsoft Office Specialist or Expert exam for Excel, this course is a good place to start their preparation, but they will need to continue on to other courses in the series to be fully prepared for either exam.

The course assumes students know how to use a computer, and that they’re familiar with Microsoft Windows. It does not assume that they’ve used a different version of Excel or another spreadsheet program before.
