Learn to solve problems like a pro

We don't just scroll through the menus and push all the buttons. We learn how to understand Excel and solve problems.

See realistic data – the kind you get at work

So many Excel courses use neat tables of sales figures in examples. But in real life, work and personal data can be confusing and messy.

Lucy was introduced to concepts 'live' on camera. She starts from almost nothing. Johnny has used Excel at work for decades. Classmates learn along with Lucy, fly-on-the-wall style.

"Informative, accessible and a heap of fun – Learn with Lucy demystifies 'Excel logic' and empowers you to make the most out of Excel as a practical, everyday problem-solving tool."
– Tyler

"This is the first Excel course that I have looked forward to doing as it's so engaging and interesting! The way it's delivered takes away the 'boring' feeling of spreadsheet lessons and really has you listening and even wanting more. I learned so many things that I had no idea about and I'm excited to use these skills in my job."

Instructors

Johnny has a background managing complex computer-related things at work. His first computer was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum (nerd alert). He uses Excel every day to store and manipulate data.

Lucy was a science writer who could nose around inside Excel, but didn't know how to use it. Treating it as a handy grid, she manually entered numbers after doing maths on a calculator (eep).

About us

"I completed the course last week and it's excellent. Easy to follow and even though I consider myself an advanced Excel user ... I actually learned quite a few new things I had no idea about. I have already signed both of my parents up as they are aware of Excel, but want to understand Excel properly and the initial feedback from them is also excellent. I thoroughly approve."
