The best way to learn Excel is to jump right in and start on a project. What better project than creating a personal budget. Follow along with each video as I guide you through the project, step-by-step.

I could take you through each feature of Excel that I feel you should know as a beginner. And it might make sense - until you try to put it all together with your own project. At the end of this course, you will a have a working knowledge of Excel and a usable spreadsheet - your budget!

This course is packed with information, but is is also kept simple. You will not be buried in complicated or exhaustive explanation that cause confusion.

Each detail is broken down into sizable chunks, which makes it easy for you to move along at your own pace.

You are encouraged to ask as many questions as you like regarding the course and project.
