How long is the business Excel course and in what format?

It is 16 hours, usually in four 4-hour sessions or eight 2-hour micro-sessions. It can be live virtual, on-site at your company, self-paced on the platform, or blended. In every case each participant practices on their own computer with files from their area.

Does it include macros or VBA?

No, and that is on purpose. Everything the course solves is done with functions, pivot tables and Power Query, which are easier to maintain, require no programming and work in Excel 365 and recent versions. If your team needs advanced automation, we point them to Power BI or a custom course.

Does it include a DC-3 certificate?

Yes. Every participant who meets the attendance requirement and passes the practical assessment receives a DC-3 certificate with the data required by Mexico's STPS. The platform keeps attendance records, submitted files and grades for your audits and inspections.

What if I forget how to do something after the course?

Ask Geedle Bot, our artificial-intelligence agent trained on the course content and recordings. Tell it, for example, how did we merge two tables in Power Query, and it takes you to the exact minute and second of the recording where the instructor did it step by step.
