This Excel training course teaches you how to use Excel professionally.

To be able to learn Excel VBA, you already need in-depth experience with Excel. Only then can you get to know the basics of object-oriented programming VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). Everyday and recurring tasks can be solved efficiently with the VBA programming language. In an Excel Visual Basic course, participants learn the following:

• Basic concepts
• The Visual Basic Editor (VBE)
• Macros (write code)
• Basic syntax in modules
• Procedures and functions
• Variables and data types
• Operators
• Branches (IF... THEN... ELSE...)
• Loops (FOR...NEXT, Do...Loop)
• Error handling
• Input Box

If you are interested in the "Learn Excel Advanced" course, you should already have basic PC and Excel skills. Practical experience in using Excel is also required for the Excel Advanced course. However, please enquire at the educational institution of your choice about the respective requirements.

To participate in Excel courses for beginners, initial computer skills including mouse operation and window technology are required. The use of the Ribbon and Explorer (file manager) is a prerequisite. To be on the safe side, find out about the entry requirements before attending the Excel course.

There are the following different Excel courses that can be completed at training providers and are frequently offered:

Most Excel courses include a course confirmation or course certificate. This briefly summarizes the content taught and certifies course participation including the date.

However, if you are looking for a recognized Excel course certificate according to international standards and already have basic knowledge, you should complete the ECDL Excel Spreadsheet module. There you learn:

• Set up calculations of varying complexity
• Structure tables and make them meaningful
• Import and prepare data
• Manage, sort and filter Excel databases
• Evaluate data, even across multiple spreadsheets (pivot tables)
• Building what-if scenarios
• into meaningful diagrams
• Create forms with fields and input checks
• Automate processes
• know the versatile functions and applications of Excel

An alternative Excel course with certificate would also be the SIZ.

In an Excel basic course I learn the following:
