What is Excel School?
Excel School is structured and comprehensive online training program for learning Microsoft Excel. It is full of real world examples.
The aim of Excel School is to make beginners become productive and awesome in Excel. It has an optional module on Dashboards, which can teach you how to design awesome Excel Dashboards.
Why should you join Excel School?
These days, any managerial or analyst role requires that you work with data. Excel remains one of the most powerful and easy to use tools when it comes to crunching data. Learning Excel in a proper, structured way can not only help you save time, but it will also help you become better at your job and can give you time to focus on things and people that matter.
While we can argue that Excel can be learned by reading help and visiting blogs like Chandoo.org, it also takes good amount of time if you use that method.
Today, there are over 400 articles, tutorials and examples on Chandoo.org explaining almost every aspect of MS Excel. I am sure there are thousands of useful, free and fun articles on learning Excel across Internet. It would take almost 6 months if you read one article a day to master some of the core concepts of Excel. Even then you may not know some important things.
That is why I designed Excel School Program. This is a structured program with 12+1 topics. Each topic contains several videos and downloadable excel files for you to learn the concepts in detail. This is an intense, focused and clearly defined program to help you learn Excel in useful and fun way.

Testimonials from Past Students
I can view the lessons at my own leisure. They are very clear and easy to understand. Completely packed with information that it is almost overload.
I was very surprised that even in the lessons that went over Excel functions that I use every day, there were tidbits of info that I didn’t know about but found very useful. The shortcuts, tips and tricks are so important to anyone who depends on excel to do all/part of their job.
– Monique Ballard
It was so easy to be able to understand the methods. Being able to start and pause the video whilst working alongside on a second screen is my preferred method of learning. Most of the downloads can be adapted to my job and suddenly I have, in the eyes of my boss, become an excel expert. cannot think of a better or more efficient method of learning excel. I could never had learned this much from books.
Thank you Purna

– Mary Scott
First, the quality of the lessons, but the delivery via the easy of download and ability to go at your own pace is HUGE! That and having access to all the example files to review is invaluable. I get my most benefit from first reviewing the lesson but then “reverse engineering” the sample files. Well Done!
