Why this $19 Microsoft Excel course could be your ticket to a promotion
Microsoft didn’t invent the electronic spreadsheet — such an application had been around for four years before the tech company began exploring its uses — but dang, it sure did perfect it when it brought Excel into existence.
It’s not just a tool for making basic tables, though. Excel is capable of keeping a business organized, analyzing data, solving complicated mathematical quandaries, making predictions, and even creating charts and graphs — functions that are useful in the realms of tech, teaching, agriculture, science, food, finance, and beyond. In a recent study, 63% of U.S. executives cited Excel as their “primary budgeting and planning tool.”
It makes sense, then, given Excel’s diverse and vast uses, that demand is high for professionals with Excel knowledge. The proof is in their paychecks: According to one report, middle-skill jobs that require proficiency in productivity software like Excel (and no other digital skills) pay 13% more than those that don’t require any digital skills.
If you’re looking to take your career to the next level, but are coming up short in the Excel department, consider taking an online course that can help improve your skills. Look no further than the Microsoft Excel Diploma Masterclass, a résumé-boosting collection of eight lessons that’s perfect for Excel newbies. Divided into digestible chunks of coursework — three hours per week, to be exact — this training utilizes interactive downloadable workbooks to advance you through Excel tasks like performing calculations, formatting worksheets, importing data, working with tables, automating your work with macros, and more.
Mashable readers, you’re in luck: This valuable class is on sale for a limited time at the low price of just $19 — an incredible saving compared to the original price of $395.
