Congratulations!

If you are reading this, you have already taken your first important step. You want to learn Excel from the ground up, and go from a complete beginner, to super user, to being part of the few Excel Elite, and being able to program your very own full blown applications using VBA (including automating not only Excel, but Outlook, Word, Powerpoint and even Windows itself!).

This complete course contains all the lectures, quizzes, projects, and downloadable resources contained in Levels 1, 2 and 3. In fact, everything you will need to go from novice to coder!

Yes, but 24.5 hours, Alan?

Don't worry! We have a very (very) active student forum, so new lectures are regularly added in the SQA Sections (Student Questions Answered). If I can't explain something in a post, or I get a particularly interesting question, I'll make a video for you to walk you through! You can find the detail of each section below, but here's a summary of how it breaks down:

Level 1 Beginners: Base course - 3 hours, SQA - 30 minutes

Level 2 Advanced: Base course - 6.5 hours, SQA - 1 hour

Level 3 VBA Programming: Base course - 11.5 hours, SQA - 2 hours

The course is structured so you can dip in and out whenever you want...you don't have to do it all at once

Getting to grips with Excel will give you a distinct advantage in whatever work you currently do, and can open the door to new opportunities.

Many of my students have gone on to get better paying jobs, or even start their own businesses, using the very skills you will soon master.

“I spent over 20 years mastering Excel, so you don't have to!”

In this course we cover in detail all of the basic functions of Excel, and you will learn not only how to use it, but some powerful tools to allow you understand how it works. There is a difference between repeating something and understanding it.

Who is this course aimed at?

Complete beginners, and those who want to build a solid foundation upon which to build their skills.

How is it structured?

Together we concentrate on building a single complete project from beginning to end, using all the basic functions and give you a thorough understanding. I know your time is valuable, so most lectures are between 3-5 minutes, allowing you to dip in and out when it's convenient for you. This also maximizes your learning, and makes it easy if you ever need to go back to refresh your memory...no need to click through a 40 minute lecture to find the part you're looking for! There are screencasts, lots of quizzes, presentations, pdfs, downloadable files...all designed to optimize your learning.

What do I get with this course?

Lifetime access to over 4 hours of HD content.

Over 50 bite-size lectures, each covering a specific topic in detail. Some of which I have never seen taught before!

Multiple quizzes to ensure you cement your learning!

Downloadable source file, practice file, and pdf cheat sheets that you can take with you and quickly refer back to if you are away from home.

Access to the Q&A forum, so if you have any questions, you can ask me!

So, Why take THIS course?

I have been using Excel for over 20 years, but there is a difference between being good at something and being able to teach it. In that time I have taught thousands of people how to master its power. Because I have taught so many people, I know not to assume you already understand something, and I have probably already heard every question you are likely to have.

This course took over 4 months to produce, and has been tested extensively with hundreds of people. If something didn't work, or wasn't clear, it was revised until it did, to make this the best possible course on Excel.

Of course, we never stop learning, and I will continue to develop this course, and your skills, with your feedback. And remember, if you have a question, post it in the Q&A and I will answer it for you personally.

Introducing Visual Basic For Applications

Visual Basic for Applications, or VBA, is included with Excel, so there's nothing more to buy. If you have Excel, you already have access to VBA.

VBA is the powerhouse. It's the code that lives under the hood where the magic happens.

A lot of people can record a Macro, but being able to program in VBA is quite a different thing. It separates the good from the truly amazing, and I want you to be amazing!

Now, one of those words in "Visual Basic for Applications" carries more weight than the others. And no, it's not "Basic" (though coding the way I will teach you is simple!).

No, it's "Applications". In fact, it's the "s" at the very end. The significance is that VBA works across ALL MICROSOFT APPLICATIONS! Word, Outlook, Access, PowerPoint, Internet Explorer, and even WINDOWS ITSELF!

In this course I will not only teach you how to code for Excel, there are even THREE, no...FOUR Bonus Sections:

Contolling Word

Contolling Outlook

Yes, even controlling Windows

and now...Automating PowerPoint!

What Makes Me Qualified To Teach You?

Well, I'm a regular guy. I don't have a University degree, but what I do have is the drive to learn new things and never be beaten by a problem...a lot like you, I guess.

What I also have is over 20 years of experience in using Excel, and programming solutions with VBA.

I have built simple helper systems to make life easier for my colleagues. I've programmed complete MRP systems to run the procurement division of a £1.3b company, and everything in between.

So, I can do it, does that mean I can teach you?

You bet! I have taught hundreds of students one on one, and even more in groups. Many of my students have gone on to better paying jobs, start their own businesses, or at the very least made their work lives less stressful! One of my most recent students got a promotion and a 15% pay rise just 16 weeks after learning how to code! Not bad, hey?



Why Is Your Course Different, Alan?

I'm glad you asked!

If you got this far, you already know you get:

Over 13.5 hours of HD video lectures

Tons of downloadable resources

Quizes

All the source code for the course + more!

Programming projects

There are lots of great courses on coding in VBA. There are even lots of free videos on YouTube. Many of them show you all the basics in kind of a "little bit of everything" approach. I looked at what was available, and I knew I had to create something different. Of course I still cover all the basics, just like the other courses, but we will go beyond the basics, and cover in depth the "missing bits".

In addition, I will teach you my step-by-step process, the actual methods I use to build powerful solutions easily and quickly. I'm sure programming can be difficult, but not the way I do it!

You will learn how streamline your code for efficiency (and make it execute faster!) from the beginning. After we've covered all the basics, we will go on to create 6 separate projects using those very tools and techniques, where we will pull together all of your earlier learning, and give you the confidence to program your own solutions as soon as you finish the course!



With So Much Power, What Will You Create?

With the skills you will learn in this course you will be limited only by your imagination.

If you can describe it, you can most likely code it. What will YOU create?

Let's see. Enrol now, and let's get started!



Who is the target audience?

This course is aimed at complete beginners, or those who want to get a thorough knowledge of Excel
