Advanced Excel Training by Peltier Technical Services

Excel Training

Peltier Technical Services provides professional training in advanced Excel topics. This training reaches far beyond the introductory "This is a row, this is a column" training which a motivated individual can self-teach online. These classes assume an intermediate level of competency in Excel, and build on this base to develop strong skills.

Classes are hands-on experiences, scheduled to take three to four hours. Students work on practical examples using their own notebook computers. Class materials include presentations and workbooks, as well as utilities chosen for each specific module.

Jon Peltier of Peltier Technical Services has developed and conducted several advanced Excel modules in various venues, including the wildly successful Excel Dashboard and Visualization Bootcamps, the annual Excel User Conferences, and occasionally at third-party locations.

The courses which Peltier Technical Services has developed include:
