My Excelling @ Excel training program has enjoyed 20 years of success at universities, conferences, and many clients. This comprehensive technical education on Microsoft’s Excel covers fundamentals, essentials, intermediate, and advanced sessions. Note: These classes are not for those new to Microsoft Office/365 or Excel and have never used the application; a basic understanding of Excel is a requirement. I designed these classes for the novice to advance users of Excel and everyone in between.
I list my full catalogue of Microsoft Excel sessions below as hyperlinks. You’ll find detailed descriptions of these sessions using the class hyperlink. The list is in progression order from casual user to the advance user. Based on your skill level, you may take the classes in any order and subject you like, unless you are a novice user – please use the progression of the classes.
Enjoy Excelling @ Excel with me and boost your Excel skills. Remember: No one has ever been fired or laid off because they knew too much about Microsoft’s Excel! Register for your class here. Thank you!

MOS Support/Study Group – Webinar 3 and 2015 Plan
Hi, Everyone!
Special thanks to Richard Hemma, Senior Director of Sales Corporate and Commercial Pearson – Certiport for his presentation and information. He provided valuable information on the value of certifications, taking exams, location issues, and offered members of this MOS Study/Support Group a free trial of GMetrix – the practice test and training tool for MOS certifications. You will want to register and view this webinar. Here are the links: Registration link and Recording link.
Here are quick notes from the webinar and our plan for 2015.
- Locations must honor vouchers from IAAP, Certiport, and other organizations. Locations may set their own hours and offerings and may charge a proctoring fee.
- When taking an exam use the Ribbon rather than keyboard shortcuts, such as CTRL + S for Save, CTRL + C for Copy and so on. Using keyboard shortcuts rather than the Ribbon for commands may make part or all of a question incorrect.
- You may use the new Office 2007, 2010, and 2013 feature entitled Key Tips as keyboard shortcuts by pressing the F10 or ALT key to activate the badges for Key Tips.
- In the future there may be a re-certification process similar to the Adobe associate certification; however, once you certify as a Microsoft Office Specialist in a particular application and version that certification lasts forever.
- Several webinar participants commended GMetrix for the practice tests and using the product.
- We discussed text books; there are plenty of resources and books available. My personal favorite and that I recommend are the QUE In Depth series which are more detailed that most Office books. Richard concurred that these books follow the domains and learning objectives for the applications.
- FREE! Richard will provide a free GMetrix trial for those people in this MOS Study/Support Group. I will collect emails and information over the next two weeks and provide them to Richard. If there is a limit to the number, I will prioritize the list based on regular attendance of these webinars including viewing the recording. Look for details in the coming weeks. Email me at creechgreg@bellsouth.net if you wish to be part of the GMetrix free trial offer.
In 2015, we will continue our monthly (or so) webinars with the next webinar in mid-January. We will update our certification plan and process and answer several exam questions for two applications. Plan now to make your New Years resolution about certifying next year and perhaps as you wait for Santa take some practice tests and study! I’ll send the content, date, and time for January’s webinar after January 2. Happy Holidays and Enjoy your learning.
