As computers become more and more a part of our everyday lives, an increasing number of people are going on courses to learn more about particular software programs. If you’re thinking of going on a Microsoft Excel training course, these are some of the typical modules you’ll cover: firstly, you can expect an introduction into the version of Excel you are using. This could be Excel 1997, 2003, 2010 or another version. You can sometimes choose a course to learn more about a specific version of the program.

You’ll also more than likely take part in a module that explores how to get started on Excel. This will teach you about all the associated terminology, such as cells, rows and columns. It will also look at the different, basic features of the worksheets that make up the majority of the Excel program. You will probably be taught how to enter data into the worksheet and then be given a chance to practice for yourself so you can see in more detail how it all works.

There are various formulae and equations associated with using Excel, so it’s likely you’ll have a module covering the basics of how to use them. Commonly, this will include looking at the ‘autosum’ feature and learning how it works. It will also teach you how to format your data so you can then use relevant formulae to make calculations from it. If you then want to learn more, there are intermediate and advanced training courses available to enhance your knowledge.

Another common module on Excel training courses will look at how you can create charts from the data you’ve inputted and the formula you have used to calculate that data. This module will, therefore, come after you learn about formulae and equations. You’ll also learn how to audit your Excel documents, which is useful for identifying mistakes in your data entry as you’ll learn how to fix them quickly. You’ll also look at the variety of available Excel template worksheets that can help organize your work.

One final common module on training courses looks at the different things you can do in Excel while using only one document. You’ll look at how to use large worksheets and learn the best ways of manipulating them. You’ll also learn about how to set up multiple workbooks and then use them to enhance different aspects of your project. Different courses will naturally feature slightly different modules, but these are some of the most common options you’ll find as they cover all the basics.
