Microsoft Excel is a powerful spreadsheet application in the Microsoft Office suite, widely used to organise data, perform calculations, and create charts and reports.

If you prefer to learn at your own pace, you can also build your Excel skills with a free tutorial series from LearnFree.org. This external course introduces many of the spreadsheet features learners often need first, including workbook basics, formatting, formulas, functions, charts, sorting, filtering, and PivotTables.
At Nomad Learning, I like to recommend practical resources that help people build confidence step by step. This is a useful starting point for beginners, returning learners, and anyone who wants to refresh their everyday spreadsheet skills.

Two ways to learn
Some people prefer the flexibility of free online tutorials. Others make faster progress through guided instruction, practical examples, and the chance to ask questions in real time.
That is why I offer both pathways here: a free external learning option through LearnFree.org, and my own Excel Basics training for learners who want personalised support.
A practical next step
If your goal is to build real confidence with Excel, begin with the essentials: workbook basics, cell formatting, formulas, functions, sorting, and charts. Once those foundations are in place, more advanced features such as PivotTables and data analysis become much easier to understand and apply.
Whether you choose self-paced learning or guided training, small steps taken consistently can build powerful capability over time.
