Excel Training

Are you looking to improve your Excel skills? 

Perhaps you have been trying to understand which Excel formulas are worth learning?

Maybe you have been searching for yet another PivotTable tutorial? Or tried to understand what the best Excel chart is to make your current report more effective? In fact, you may have tried books, search engines or even resorted to bribing Dave, the office ‘Techie’ with a coffee for some much-needed Excel guidance.

And yet you are still only comfortable with the Excel basics or can randomly tackle something a bit more advanced. I want to help you change that with the help of our Excel classes. 

When I started Earn and Excel, I decided to set a lofty goal: to create the best online Excel training for corporate professionals. I don’t just want to teach you random Excel tips and tricks, with my experience I want to show you how to truly leverage Microsoft Excel to become highly productive and insightful for your company.

I do things very differently because I tap into my experience and focus on teaching things that work. Just because Excel has a particular tool or function, doesn't mean it's of value or use. 

I'm Sohail Anwar and I have worked in the financial services as a consultant analyst and project manager in some of the biggest global companies for the last 13+ years. 

I credit the improvement in my Excel and VBA skills as being the biggest factor in going from junior to senior roles in a short time frame. From tackling every kind of problem that all corporate professionals face, I spotted a pattern in the way Excel needed to be used at work. 

This lead to me developing the 4:3 Excel problem-solving strategy. That is there are only 3 types of problems and to solve them we need to use Excel in a combination of 4 possible ways.

This forms the basis of my Excel Lessons 

Not only that but it is also the way I teach VBA lessons and macros. Because of this experience I are able to ignore so many unnecessary functions and formulas that Excel has to offer.

In fact, I have seen that 80% of Excel’s functions are unnecessary and in true 80:20 fashion I focus very deeply on the most useful 20%. Annoyingly Excel keeps adding more and more functions with every new version but most of them are pointless for professionals and it just adds to the overwhelm of learning Excel.

I will help eradicate that overwhelm and bring clarity to your Excel training.

I help professionals, with real projects, deadlines, social lives and family obligations. And I find that professionals without the necessary support, eventually run out of either the time or motivation to continue to improve your skills. Understandably.

This is a real shame as improved Excel skills will give you leaps in productivity and help you become indispensable to your company as you get a reputation for providing great analysis and reporting. So over the last few years, while I haven’t changed the structure and topics that I teach in our Excel lessons because they are tried, tested and proven, I have evolved the support that I give our students.

By spending a lot of time with students I have found that after the right topics delivered in a proven structure, it is strong support and guidance that truly transforms a student’s ability and motivation to go from Excel basics all the way to attaining advanced Excel skills. Our unique approach to support will feel like you are right there in the Excel school with us!
