Microsoft Excel Certificate Program

We’ve designed a certificate series that is skills-based so you can focus on the skills most valuable to you. The Microsoft Excel Fundamentals series leads to the optional Microsoft Excel Associate exam which focuses on core data analysis, manipulation, and presentation. The Microsoft Excel Advanced series focuses on interpreting data for insights using statistics package, graphs, formulas, and charts, leading to the optional Microsoft Excel Expert exam. Each workshop includes 2-hours of direct instruction with learning activities and provides a Gardner-Webb certificate of completion.
