How to Get Free Excel Training

Some people are surprised when I recommend the library as the #1 Method for free Excel training. But using the library can be a wonderful place to find Excel books and sometimes even CD courses and training Videos for common software like Microsoft Excel!

Here is how you do it:

1. Find a library near you.
2. Check to see if the library has an online catalog.
3. Using the catalog search for "Excel".
4. Check whether the book, video, or CD is available.
5. Get some fresh air and take a trip.

If you are willing to take the time to search for online Excel tutorials or training, the internet can be a great resource. Vertex42's Excel Portal contains links to many useful tutorials. Check Out the Excel Nexus!

• Free Excel Training at Ozgrid.com
• Excel Online Training
• The Excel Help Page
• Basic Online Tutorial

This may not be the best place to start if you are a beginner, but after you learn the Excel basics, one of the best ways to learn new techniques, tips, and tricks for making the most of Excel is to look for free Excel templates.

Try taking the template apart. Dissect every formula and if there is a formula you don't understand, look it up in Excel's help system. This is the method I prefer because things stick in my head longer when I actually use the program.
