Beginner4 hours16 lessonsStart any time

₦10,000 paid once, 12 months of access

Who it is for

Anyone who needs Excel for a job, a business or a job application.

What you will be able to do

  • Total a column and let Excel decide with IF
  • Sort and filter a list, then make a clear chart
  • Print a sheet on one page, not fourteen

By the end you will build a real spreadsheet that totals, checks and charts your numbers, then print it neatly or turn a PDF into Excel.

How it works

Each lesson starts with a short video. Tolu, your guide, shows you what to do and says it in plain words. You practise on a real-looking Excel, with Tolu guiding each step.

You work on a practice computer inside the course, so you cannot break anything. More than 75% of your time is hands-on practice, not watching.

Every lesson is split into steps, and a row of step bars shows where you are. If a step is too hard, press Skip and come back to it later.
