This is an intermediate level training session. This means trainees should already be using Excel on a daily basis but not mastering the functions and functionalities mentioned in the content section. To find out whether or not you should take this training, we strongly suggest that you take an online quiz. If your score is 70% or higher, you are ready to begin the Excel—Intermediate Level course. Otherwise, we strongly recommend that you first learn the basics of Excel before taking the Intermediate Level course. However, it is also possible to enroll in the Excel—Intermediate Level course directly, but be aware that it may require more time and effort to complete.
Each trainee must have access to a portable computer equipped with MS Excel 2007 or more for Windows, or MS Excel 2011 or more for Mac.
