Our Excel training is anything but standard; it's tailored to the unique demands of Ottawa’s workforce – including government employees.

GREAT Microsoft Excel Training: Online, In-Person or Onsite Training

You can learn online, onsite or at our training centre in the Nation’s capital. Regardless of the format, our training is always taught by a live instructor. Our courses are hands-on and will teach you how to use Excel's functions, and then you'll get to practice right in class!

We offer regularly scheduled public classes that are ideal for individuals or small groups that do not require any customized training. Private training is ideal for teams of four or more and allows you to customize your outline and use your working files instead of our exercise files.
