Excel 2016 Basic

You’ll never excel at work without knowing Excel. You like that? Good, right? They should pay me to write taglines. Find out what you need to know about Excel 2016 here. If you’re into typing things into little tiny boxes, this program is for you. But seriously, millions use Excel for work because it’s a great data entry, calculation and representation tool.

And since you’re reading this, you’ll probably need to use it for your work. Whether you’re completely new to Excel, or you’ve just used a different version, this’ll help you get to grips with the key bits.

 

We know you want to learn all about Excel 2016, but we also know that your time is precious.

That’s the exact reason we’ve created them in small chunks, to enable you to dip in and out when it suits you.

You can spend as little as 3 minutes to learn something new, or refresh your memory if you’ve simply forgotten something.

Or if you’ve a little more time available you could start to crack through one of the courses on your journey to becoming an Excel Wizard and supercharging your efficiency and career.

Brilliant!

Brilliant! I was already studying with learn direct already, so I was a bit worried about how to get into maths functional skills with the exams. I made a call to the lovely team and I had Samuel as my caller. Very nice guy, explained everything well when I felt confused on the payment plan, and where I would take these exams. My application was made successful and am now working on my maths to get me into university next year. Thank you very much :)

Laura was so so helpful and really took the time with me to figure out which courses were right for me and what I wanted to do , she guided me through the process as I was nervous after not studying for many years provided me with all the information I needed to proceed and I’m really looking forward to the process now. Great support in place for those who may be thinking of learn direct courses .
