What you will learn

Module 1
Get introduced to Microsoft Excel in a fun, low-pressure way. You’ll explore the Excel interface, learn how to navigate the workspace, and use basic cell selection and formatting techniques to create a silly face using colors, merged cells, and text. Along the way, you’ll pick up essential Excel tips and tricks that set the foundation for everything that follows.

Module 2
In this project, you’ll create an Excel workbook with two worksheets to build a realistic first-semester college schedule and budget for an accounting major. You’ll organize data, plan expenses, and use Excel as a practical tool for real-life decision-making.

Module 3
You’ll use Microsoft Excel to help plan and manage a local 3-on-3 basketball tournament. By working with multiple worksheets, you’ll organize schedules, track information, and apply Excel functions to solve real-world planning challenges.

Module 4
In this module, you’ll analyze data from a local boutique’s annual sales report. You’ll create tables and charts that turn raw numbers into clear, visual insights, making trends and performance easy to understand at a glance.

Module 5
This final project brings everything together. You’ll complete a series of Excel tasks modeled after certification-style challenges, each one unlocking a piece of a story. Your goal is to uncover all the clues and assemble the full narrative about a Great Dane named Dobson who discovers the power of Microsoft Excel—all while reviewing the key skills you need before taking your certification exam.
