Joe is extremely knowledgeable of excel and can TEACH the material. I loved this class; Joe and five of us. Very intimate, that is what I paid for. His knowledge of excel taught to me and my classmates was great because we all had something to add. I even brought up this class on a job interview. Very satisfied!!!

K.B.

Joe was really informative, helpful, and made learning not seem so daunting. I like the shortcuts he taught and the class exercises. This helped me grasp the lessons. I would definitely suggest this class/instructor.

M.D.

I have taken two Excel classes at NYIM and they were both fantastic. Garfield is a really skilled teacher and I learned so much! I plan on taking more classes when I can. Highly recommend these classes!

Sandhya B.

NYIM does incredible work! I did the 3-day Excel Bootcamp & it was amazing! Pooja, Tom & Garfield were incredibly knowledgeable & excellent teachers. They explained everything in an incredibly clear & concise manner. I would HIGHLY recommend NYIM/Career Centers for anyone looking for Excel training, or any other training that they have to offer!

Jonathan S.

The course was very informative and the instructor did an excellent job going over the material. I will be looking to attend the additional courses in the nearby future. Thank you.

Scott is a really good instructor. One can already tell he's very very knowledgeable about the software he's teaching about.

C.A.

I recently started taking classes at NYIM Training, I have found the instructors to be very knowledgeable and professional. NYIM Training offers a number of different courses which includes SQL, Excel, PowerPoint, AutoCAD, VBA, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and QuickBooks. The price per course is very reasonable and they offer special pricing if you take a series of 3 courses in one particular subject. I would highly recommend them.

Rob G.

Anthony's mastery of Excel and ability to pace teaching to the student's experience (or lack of) in Excel allows each student to grasp concepts and make connections to daily work practice regardless of industry. Anthony is an excellent teach and highly recommend him to other students. THANK YOU!

D.I.

This was an amazing class and the instructor made you want to learn. If you want to learn in a great environment, this is the class for you.

Husniyyah A.

We all are in agreement - we loved Joe. Personable and very easy to follow. What a great experience. We did gain all we needed to know.

R. H. of Strategic Insight.

The class was amazing and the instructor was superb!

Melissa L.

This was a great refresher course for some of the deeper financial concepts I have not used since undergrad. I think this course is phenomenal for recent college grads starting off their careers in finance or budget. It's a great intro for learning to navigate excel shortcuts. I am 5 years in my career now and have never had the investment banking background but still have been a financial analyst and been involved in raising capital so the concepts covered were a great refresher for me. Additionally the instructor did a great job with playing to the students in the course and our backgrounds and what subjects to go more in-depth with and vice versa.

Alexandria B.

This financial modeling bootcamp helped me round off my excel shortcut skills. All of the excel shortcuts I didn't already know; I learned in this course. This will help me work fast and smarter. I also appreciated the applicability of the financial analysis we conducted. We moved in a very timely fashion and this was a very productive course that will help me as I start off as an investment analyst.

John C.

Joe was great, the pace was good, even the part on charts that I really didn't need to know that well she made fun.

G.J.

The financial modeling boot-camp class was a great review for everything I have learned during my undergraduate studies and was also very relevant to my working experience. I also liked that the size of the classes were not too big; this allowed the participants to be actively engaged. As I work in fixed income and while this boot-camp focused on projecting stock price, the research and excel model/setup is very similar so there was very relevant crossover. All in all, I wish I had taken this class earlier this year. Great class.

Nico S.

The session with Joe was very useful, I now have a spreadsheet that not only works extremely well for my needs, but is also one I finally really understand. :)

D.C.

I thought the class with Joe was very helpful. I learned a lot!

D.H.

I don't even know what else Saba could have done to make the class better - she was so on point and really interesting.

L.P.

I thought Joe was a very good instructor. Informative and not boring.

K.P.

Joe was very well spoken and approachable. He made it easy to ask questions and made sure everyone understood what was being done.

Y.Z.

Joe was excellent at moving through a lot of information while still stopping to make sure I understood. He was very good at conveying the information.

D.E.

I normally hate computer classes BUT this one was so much fun! The time just flew by. The instructor really knew what he was doing and was able to explain things very well. I am coming back for the advanced class. Thank you for the great experience!

J.D.

I enjoyed the Excel Bootcamp I took at NYIM. First, the trainers were very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the concepts in detail. Secondly, the course content is very rich. I found it quite voluminous though. But it is great to have printed material for reference. Thirdly, I loved how interactive classes were with trainers trying as best they could to provide help individually to students. I greatly recommend NYIM training.

Buri B.

Excellent instruction. Liked the location and having a small class. The class members tracked well, so it didn't go too slow. Anthony is thoroughly knowledgeable and very practical.

K.N.

Joe was an excellent instructor who used real life examples to make the class interesting and helped me follow along. I can't say enough good things about this class especially since I had no experience with Excel before this class.

S.S.

great! a great pace, which Anthony was able to alter according to our needs. good sense of humor, worked with individual needs, answered all questions.

S.Y.

Thank you for the session! It was really helpful and I've learned a lot from Joe.

N.N.

Great teacher! She was really helpful and moved at a solid pace. Answered all questions super well. She made the class.

Ariel O.

Excel class was so thorough and they send you home with materials to reference. Staff is professional and pleasant. Will definitely send staff for the other classes.

Suzette D.

Anthony was very good. He presented the concepts and demonstrated at the same time which was very effective. There was plenty of time to absorb and ask questions.

E.K.

Joe was a very detailed, fun and easy going person. His method is perfect for new beginners. Joe gives you a feeling of confidence. AWESOME CLASS

J.H.

I thoroughly enjoyed my training experience (Excel Bootcamp for Business- Fundamentals, Intermediate, Advanced). The instructors were very informative, thorough and engaging and the tools were invaluable to my day-to-day work in accounting. Would highly recommend this training.

Aaron P.

Very good - Anthony varied his speed to accommodate different standards of the class and very happy to get round the room all the time to look at individual screens. VERY knowledgeable and answered everyone's questions.

J.O.

i love this school, i feel i am a much smarter cinci after this course.

Faye K.

He (Anthony Jordan) was absolutely wonderful. Very knowledgeable and clear!

T.R.

This course exceeded my expectations.Saba is a great instructor! She answered all my questions and went beyond to link it to real life examples.

Laura H.

I had a fantastic experience in NYIM's Intermediate Excel class. Staff was very helpful in guiding me on which course to take based on my current skill set. Scheduling was easy as there were multiple days, times, and formats offered. I took the course over two weekday nights with Garfield. The facilities are clean and modern and offer complimentary water, coffee, and snacks. Garfield was an expert and made learning excel fun (which is not easy to do). I am able to apply what I learned directly to my work. At the end of the course, they offer a handout, online courses, and a copy of the workbook from the training which makes it an incredible value. Would highly recommend NYIM for any excel training, and will definitely be booking advanced excel courses with them in the near future.

David C.

The instructor Scott was terrific, he explained all information in a very clear manner and was available to answer all questions

C.N.

This was a really incredible Course. I loved the trainer and everything about it. Thanks for staying after with me. I finally got it.

GEOVANNA F.

A class was very helpful and the instructor made it worthwhile. Took the two-night excel class and will be back for powerpoint.

Tommy M.

Anthony was really clear and great! You are lucky to have him.

K.M.

Great instructors, they are patient! The materials are great, and you can retake the class once if you need a refresher! I highly recommend them!

Eun K.

Anthony handled group very well - and addressed individual needs as they arose. Presentation was very straight- forward, comprehensive and easy to follow. Very personable and interested in our needs and progress as we went through each exercise.

K.C.

I took NYIM Training's Intermediate Excel 2016 training this week, and I was impressed by the content and the trainer, Mike. The in-class exercises were all in one multi-tab spreadsheet which included step-by-step instructions for almost all of these, and you send the spreadsheet with any notes you made to yourself at the end of the day for future reference. No wasted time. Plenty of opportunity for questions. I have had other computer training elsewhere, but NYIM was unique in providing big-picture methods, tips, and shortcuts that were useful even for Excel tasks I already knew well. Plus, coffee and snacks to keep you going!

Rob P.

Anthony was great! I learned alot from the class for my job. Very patient and always answering questions.

Yohani G.

Anthony is a great instructor. He is very knowledgeable and answered all questions. He takes times to work with all the students and their questions.

Jessica D.

Anthony was very on point and was able to answer all questions that were posed to him. He was able to bring a great friendly personality to the classroom that made us students feel at ease. He also explained things in an comprehensive manner. Excellent Teacher!!

J.W.

Anthony is a great teacher! He is very patient and takes his time with everyone. He made the class very fun and was very knowledgeable.

tom c.

I purchased the excel for business class and had a great experience. The instructor Jeannette was knowledgeable and made the material interesting.

Francesca S.

Marco was a great teacher! Answered all the questions i had from my last class.

Yohani G.

I enrolled in a beginners Excel training class. I enjoyed the class I learned so much. Things I never knew I could do with excel. The professor Mr. Garfield was great made it interesting and he is a bit funny too! I will take the class again! :)

Haydee M.

I am a financial professional here in New York. I attended the Advanced Excel for Business class taught by Anthony. I had recently taken an excel class hosted by another computer training firm and there was really no comparison in the level of expertise that I received through NYIM. Also, Glenn was available to follow up after class with any questions that I had covering class material. Also, he agreed to meet with me after class at my location as well, to assist in various implementations of the material that we covered in class. I was really impressed by his depth of knowledge concerning the material and his willingness to meet after class and make sure what we learned was indelibly imprinted in my excel skill set! I am sure he is an invaluable asset to your firm and to the people who take his class.

R.S.

Anthony was a great instructor. He mixes the lessons with real life examples.

Judy W.

My instructor was very knowledgable and a great communicator. Anyone looking to learn Excel from the beginning should take this class as it's a wonderful foundation for learning the program.

Rachael G.

Anthony was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and patient and full of tips and tricks! Definitely coming back again.

Wanda M.

The instructor was excellent - very knowledgeable, helpful, enthusiastic and a very good presenter of information.

Evelaire H.

This Excel class is great. A good pace and Anthony takes his time to answer everyone's questions. He is very patient and made sure that everyone moved together at the same pace.

John T.

I took the Financial Modeling Bootcamp. The instructors are very knowledgeable about what they teach and encourage questions throughout the workshop.

Kelvin L.

He is very kind, and patient. All day excel course can be boring, but it was exciting, and I learned a lot of things I can apply to work.

J.C.

Scott is a great teacher! He is very detailed with the training and took the time to answer my questions. Very patient and had alot of tips for efficiency!

Nicole R.

Joe really presents the material in a way that facilitates learning. It is an easy- going and organized environment that focused on our specific needs.

I use excel everyday but I still learned new tips and shortcuts that I didnt know.

M.S.

Joe has great energy and a depth of knowledge which made the class accessible and enjoyable.

D.B.

The class was helpful, because the instructor kept the pace of the class moving. And he took time to help us to catch up the rest of the class.

N.A.

Good speed, good explanations, practical applications of tools.

D.P.

Anthony was very energetic, positive, engaging, patient and knowledgeable . Breaks down complex information into basic forms for easy comprehension.

P.S.

Class was great for a quick overview of Excel tools. It was very helpful.

Jane D.

Great class. Anthony was terrific as far as pace, instruction, and practice. There was also a good flow of questions and answers.

P.G.

Joe was great! I thought I would be sitting through a dull day in front of the computer, but Joe's energy and clear explanation kept my brain aware throughout the day. Really, did not expect excel to be that cool. Kudos, Joe.

E.F.

Anthony was EXCELLENT. Moved at a perfect pace, really kept our attention. Obviously a very experienced teacher. Was very good at holding our attention and keeping each topic interesting! I would definitely like to take other courses from him.

K.H.

Joe made the class interesting and not boring using easy ways to get our attention. The methods he used in class I can remember when I'm using excel at work. He's a very nice teacher. All the best to you. Thank you.

S.E.

Joe was really great. He had a sense of where everyone was in the class and adjusted his methods accordingly. I think he's such a great teacher, I'd love to take the advanced class if this is something he teaches. Thanks Joe!

T.O.

Anthony is an instructor! Was very upbeat and kept the class interested. Very knowledgeable about excel. Learned a lot of new tricks to increase efficiency.

I took the Excel 1 class for Mac with Michael M. and I was so happy that I chose NYIM. Michael was a wonderful, patient instructor who answered everyone's questions. Unlike many computer classes, this was a totally hands on experience where you actually performed the tasks you learned. The best part is, they will allow you to retake any portion of the class you have trouble grasping without any additional charge. I intend to take the next level class for Excel and will take other classes as well as I need them. It is nice to know that there is a company that actually teaches in a style that is easy to grasp and has the integrity to offer free refresher.

Mary Ann M.

Anthony was a great instructor and I am glad i took this class. He taught the class very well and very clearly.

L.G.

I took the Excel for Mac level one class at NYIM with Michael M and he was a fantastic instructor. I left the class amazed with the capability of Excel and excited to to put these new learned skills to good use. Michael was patient, meticulous and very good at explaining how to use the program. I have already recommended this institution to friends and I plan on taking a few other courses in soon time.

David D.

Anthony was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Encouraged asking questions and didn't move on until everyone understood material. He was great!

A.L

Very good Excel I class. Michael was clear, thorough, patient and very nice. I enjoyed his class very much and will definitely recommend it.

Robbin B.

Great training with Michael! Very patient, knowledgeable and informative

Ashley N.

Joe is an excellent instructor! He's knowledgeable, patient and easy to follow - He's excellent at knowing technology software AND teaching - a great combo!

G.C.

Had a wonderful experience with Karen! Really engaging, personalized, and professional setting. I plan on taking additional classes and appreciate the wonderful staff and Karen in particular.

Madeleine M.

Joe was very effective, paced the class and was very responsive. Did a good job of identifying specific needs and checking back to be sure they were addressed.

B.H.

Would give way more than 5 stars if this was possible. Signing up was easy, and I was emailed confirmation within seconds. I got further email reminders before the date of the actual class. One of the emails said that I did not have to bring anything except myself to the class, meaning that pens, paper, workbooks, coffee and water would be supplied. Do not expect a cappuccino bar, but the fact that there was coffee available was very nice. Kaye was wonderful and answered any questions I had previous to the class. The teacher Karen was phenomenal. She was very eloquent, clear, patient and knew the material fluently. She also was extremely helpful and patient with any questions asked during the class. The price for this class was exceptional. Additionally, there are free retakes for life should you desire that. The school is extremely easy to get to. The building is located right on Union Square. I do not have one negative thing to say about this class or the school. Exceeded my expectations.

Stacey B.

Joe was just wonderful, I never had a better computer teacher.

A.S.

Karen M. was such a fantastic trainer! I took the Advanced Level 2 Business course and came in with Excel research background, familiarity with formulas, search and sort, and graphs/charts. The level was just right for me. Karen showed us so many shortcuts that are going to make my life easier and we did nested formulas that helped me understand the real potential of Excel. We also did worksheet and workbook linking and just learned some of the "rules" there that always throw me off. Karen was fun and kept the class going, there wasn't lag time and I felt I was constantly learning. The pivot table part was awesome--obviously, cuz Pivot Tables are dope! Also, at the end of the class you get to keep your workbook, which is broken down by lessons so it's going to be awesome to have handy. Thanks, NYIM!

Hannah K.

Anthony was very informative and also very easy to learn from. He made something that was challenging much more easy to manage.

M.V.

I had a great experience training with NYIM. Karen was an awesome instructor. Slow enough for you to absorb the info, but kept the class moving swiftly so it didn't drag. I got so much out of it...I think I may do the next level.

Tina C.

Joe is a good instructor. He does an excellent presentation and makes the course very interesting. He is very observant to see if you're having a problem to be right behind you.

E.H.

I had a great experience with NYIM. I took "Fast as Hell Excel" course and really enjoyed it. It was very informative and Joe the instructor knew how to deliver the course in a fun way. I am thinking about taking other Excel classes with NYIM and will recommend it to my friends.

Iryna D.

Anthony was very helpful and kind and seemed to go at a pace acceptable for the whole class. He was also very friendly and approachable. I liked how he also called me out (but in a non offensive way) about doing work in class. :- ) He seems direct and honest which is appreciated.

B.U.

Took advanced excel for business. Reference materials are great, instructor (Karen) really knew her stuff and kept the class moving at a good pace without leaving anyone behind. Best instruction be ever gotten on pivot tables. Good intro to macros though I might return for a refresher since it was so new to me.

Rebecca F.

Anthony was very fun and energetic. His passion for the subject is obvious and infectious.I can't wait to come back for the Advanced Class!

J.C.

I just took Excel level 2 a week ago and I've already used so much of what I learned in just one day! Karen did a great job at making sure everyone was together on the right track! The class is definitely fast, but as long as you're pretty familiar with excel, you will stay with her! I learned a lot and cannot wait to go take the level 3 class!

Alara A.

Joe has total command of his class; He is articulate, his delivery is easy and and he take his time with each student who may need some attention in a specific area. He is a very good teacher. Looking forward to more classes.

C.F.

I took the level 1 class and it was great! Karen was a very well trained and patient instructor, who explained everything very clearly. I also love that they gave us work books to take home, with all the info that we learnt in them. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in learning the basics and understanding new Excel functions.

Sophie C.

Saba really knows her stuff! Lively attitude kept things interesting. She was very interactive and engaging us in the class.

V.B.

This was my second class that I took with NYIM and it was great. Karen, the instructor did a good job explaining the material. I will definitely take more classes with NYIM and already recommended it to my friends. Thanks NYIM!

Iryna D.

This training was exceptional thanks to Karen. I feel a lot more confident in excel and thought the class was informative, slow enough so you can pause and retrace your steps, and thorough!

Jackie N.

Michael is an excellent instructor. This Excel training far exceeded my expectations for a one-day course. Thank you.

Lisa M.

Anthony is a FABULOUS professor! He made sure that each of us understood what he was teaching before moving on to the next subject. He was very patient and had a good sense of humor which made the six hours go by quickly. I would highly recommend him as a professor!

M.S.

The training course is a great hands on approach to learning how to use Excel. Definitely would recommend others to take the course. Michael was the instructor for the training course I attended. He was great, very professional, and clear with instructions and guidance throughout the course.

Crystal J.

Anthony made class an easy learning environment. I would recommend him to other students looking to gain Excel experience.

R.K.

Anthony was very nice and understanding. Very patient. Willing to answer any questions.

M.K.

Loved my Excel level 3 class that I took with Karen! She made it entertaining and all of the material was applicable and very relevant if you are someone who works in excel frequently. Highly recommend this course if you're looking to advance your excel skills and gain efficiency in your job!

Chelsey K.

Anthony was wonderful and understanding. He really wanted to see everyone achieve all they could.

E.S.

I took the Excel for Business with Garfield. The training is great, detailed and you can do a retake so it is a very good value.

Sharon M.

Joe was immensely helpful. He is a very knowledgeable instructor. I've taken Excel classes before, and he is by far the best instructor I've had.

S.F.

Anthony was fantastic! He was really good at not only explaining the concepts but at keeping track of what we were doing and where we might have gone wrong. Also, the customized pacing of the class, and to some extent customized content, was very helpful. All in all, this class exceeded my expectations; I did not think I would really learn as much because I usually get lost whenever I've taken computer training courses in the past. Thank you!

S.R.

Anthony was extremely thorough and patient. He spoke clear and upbeat. If only I had teachers in college that could keep my attention all day talking about excel! I hope to take the Advanced Class soon!

C.P.

Our instructor Anthony was excellent and should be praised for his hard work and excellent presentation.

J.M.

Anthony was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject which made the class interesting and not boring!

J.S.

Thank you Joe for taking the time to deal with our personal Excel issues outside the normal class agenda.

K.C.

Anthony is an excellent instructor. He is very knowledgeable and provides valid examples. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in improving their Excel skills.

G.A.

I very much enjoyed Anthony's class that I took. He is a good presenter of the material and is willing to slow down to answer questions as they arise. I significantly expanded my knowledge of this powerful tool system, especially in the area of formulas and validation of input.

R.P.

Great course. Second time taking a training course from NYIM. Took Level 2 Excel Training with Michael. He's a great instructor. Very patient and gives great direction. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Crystal J.

Anthony was great at making adjustments for the different levels that were in the class. He gave little extra things to those who knew more, and paid attention to those who knew less so they didn't get left behind.

L.D.

Joe paced the class perfectly for the population and communicated the technology extremely well.

B.U.

I did enjoy Anthony's enthusiasm. He was great. For a class of this caliber, you need a dynamic trainer. He has great patience with all the students.

A.W.

Very useful and right on point for the excel advance II class. It's definitely worth time and money especially they offer life long free retaking. Michel's class material is well organized and detailed oriented. Comfortable learning environments with no sales pressure. Recommend to take more classes here!

Mei W.

I took the Excel Level I class with my b/f and we both learned so much! The trainer was very clear and even though helping others in the class occasionally, stayed on point with the training so we all learned the program together.

Jess G.

Joe was knowledgeable and conscious of people who are ahead and behind. He took the time to give me some advanced stuff while also making sure less experienced students knew what to do.

P.M.

Took the Excel for business level 2 course with Michael and it was fantastic. Learned great new skills and ways to improve things that I am already doing in Excel. Never thought a 7 hour Excel course would go by so fast.

Michal B.

Joe is an awesome teacher. His teaching methods are clear, and I love the short- cuts. This is my second time with Joe, and he is my favorite so far.

L.O.

Great class, really helpful and quick. I will be back for next levels. Totally recommend.

Cosmin B.

Joey was fantastic! Very thorough, clear, and hands on. I would highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to sharpen their excel skills.

Jessyca B.

Joe was great, very friendly and a great teacher. He was very patient with all of us and was able to answer all of our questions.

E.C.

Joe is great, the class is fun, extremely helpful, and he doesn't leave anyone in the dust.

Jesus Z.

Joe was great very patient and wanted us to learn this software

D.T.

Garfield is an Excel expert. His course was extremely informative and interesting. I learned many Excel functions within the level one class. Garfield provided one-on-one attention to all of the students, he was attentive, professional and had a great sense of humor. The material was detailed and outlined so that the class was able to follow along seamlessly. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend NYIM!

Lisa S.

Joe was brilliant. Very informative and took the time to answer questions.

L.D.

I took Excel for Business 2 with Joe. He was great--very dedicated to the class and wants his students to succeed. I learned a lot and will be back.

Dominika J.

Anthony was great. It has been a long time that I've such an excellent teacher who was able to keep me in line with learning that I don't wander off(I do most of the time). Thanks!

M.C.

Great beginner Excel Class. Michael was a patient teacher. It's a lot of info for one class. Should be more time to go over tables, etc., last hour was rushed. I need to practice and they let you retake class until you are confident for Excel II. If you want to learn this program, really good place to go.

Jasia A.

Michael was a great teacher. He was extremely helpful and patient throughout the entire course. Highly recommended.

Jennifer M.

Excellent instruction, professional and understanding of students needs!

H.K.

Great location. Terrific instructor, patient and knowledgeable. Would recommend this school highly for Excel!

Stacey F.

Garfield is a terrific instructor, calm and very very knowledgeable. I would recommend others to take this course.

Jeffrey A.

Michael was extremely informative, engaging, and worked at a comfortable pace. Definitely recommend the course.

Phil K.

Anthony made sure everyone in the class was following each point he made. He showed a full knowledge of excel and didn't hesitate to answer questions.

M.P.

Michael was a great teacher for Advanced Excel for Business. Instruction was clear and thorough and I learned a lot that I will take with me to use on a daily basis! Highly recommended.

Clair W.

Joe is very well spoken, clear and knowledgeable. I enjoyed his class and I would recommend him to others.

G.K.

A great class for a deeper understanding of the various function Excel has to offer. Michael was a great instructor!! Thank you Michael!

Lauren S.

Anthony was more then helpful, cheery, knowledgeable and compassionate.

L.P.

Joe really was awesome. Kept everyone's attention...didn't let anyone fall too far behind...communicated extremely well

D.G.

Took the Excel for Business class. I plan on taking Level 2 & 3. Garfield is a great instructor. He was able to adapt to everyone's learning curve and was able to simplify several difficult excel concepts easily. The class is approximately 6hrs, it felt like 2-3. The class keeps you engaged and you will learn new ways of doing things.

Sebastian R.

Joe was clear and used the right terms when giving instruction. I find that verbal cues are often the biggest hurdle when talking about operating a computer: click on the box that does that again is the kind of thing that doesn't work, and something Joe avoided well.

T.S.

I attended Excel for Buisness 1 instructed by Michael. The detail to content and the support as an instructor was fantastic. I had very limited experience with Excel prior and Michael was very helpful and patient with my limited skill. I even attended the class again for free! you cant beat that. Class size was also perfect less than 10 attended.

Brendan M.

Michael was an incredible teacher! He was very patient, thorough, kind, and very knowledgeable about Excel. I highly recommend taking his class, or any class with this school! :)

Jennifer B.

Michael was very clear, informative, and very patient. I would highly recommend this course. Very helpful.

Ji K.

This class was very very informative, I did the Advanced Excel level 2 class with Michael M. He was very clear and I was able to understand everything he did and follow along as well. I DEFINITELY recommend this class. I am going to go back to do level 3 Excel. I believe it is also very affordable considering the scope of information that is covered in 6 hours.

Pablo E.

Michael is a wonderful teacher. The course (advanced for business level 2) was challenging, fast paced, and covered a lot of ground for a non-frequent excel user looking to rapidly increase my skill set. The environment was open for questions at any point and Michael was happy to give one on one assistance or review formulas or troubleshoot where needed.

Tina M.

Michael was very thorough and easy to follow through. Highly recommend!

Helen Y.

Very clear and kind. Practical knowledge. Clearly loves Excel.

J.K.

Michael was a great teacher and explained things very well. I took the Excel for business level 1 class and definitely need to take the second course. I felt like i knew most of the level 1 material, but still learned a few tricks or things that I didn't know, and I liked that he explained how Excel works so I better understand the logic. 3/27/2017

Chelsea S.

Garfield explained all of the topics very clearly and helped me understand excel functions easily. I'm looking forward to using this in my everyday work environment.

May C.

Anthony was great. He explained concepts and everything very well and she was extremely helpful in answering individual questions and individual goals for the class.

S.W.

Fantastic learning experience. Garfield was very patient and insightful. Would highly recommend for any excel user.

Lindsey M.

I had an amazing experience doing private training for Excel for Finance. I learned all the practical applications for the formulas I'm expected to know at my new job - I feel great and super confident at work with my new skills! Very patient and knowledgeable instructor too.

Max D.

I was very pleased with the seminar. The classes were small and the instructor took the time to explain and make sure each person understood while keeping the pace quick!

M.W.

I took Excel For Business Level 2 sort of as a prerequisite for the Levels 3,4 & 5. I went in thinking that I was very knowledgeable because I'd been working with Excel for YEARS (more than 15 years), but I quickly found out that I didn't know nearly enough. All the new things I learned and will learn in the following courses will definitely make me more efficient at my job and they allowed me to look at information in new ways and with new possibilities. I was stuck doing things the way I've always done them and I'd never taken a refresher course. I recommend NYIM for anyone wanting to update their skills and learn advanced processes in Excel. Michael Magreta was my instructor and he was very proficient and patient. I spoke with Nick S., the office manager and he was able to help me schedule my courses painlessly. My husband needs to take some refresher courses for work and I've already given him the thumbs up for NYIM.

Alicia V

thank you so much for a very informative and intense class. all of my questions were answered.

Talya L.

I think the Excel class was a really good overview .Our instructor Anthony was very knowledgeable and helpful. I will definitely take the advanced class at NYIM.

S.M.

Michael Magreta was such an amazing instructor. We got through the class faster than expected. I use Excel all the time but I learned new tricks I will be putting to use. Thank you Michael for your time!

Amandalisa V.

Anthony was very effective in leading the class at a good pace. Explained course material clearly and was always available to answer questions.

S.F.

Teacher is very available and manages all levels. I was a total beginner and Garfield explains this is a class for total beginners and others should know that. Very helpful.

Liz D.

Saba made the class non- intimidating and informative due to her casual approach, teaching from the basics forward and her helpfulness with every little question. I did like that the class was small and hands on with computers.

N.B.

I took a private Excel class at NYIM, and it was excellent. The trainer, Mourad, prepared a very good class outline that taught me many useful tools. During our time together, Mourad was patient and changed the direction as he determined what my greatest needs were. I will be taking more classes with NYIM and highly recommend them.

Kevin D.

My instructor, Garfield, was extremely helpful - took the time to answer any questions I might have had. He was friendly and very efficient! I highly recommend this course!

Tilde M.

I took an excel class with Garfield. The course was organized logically and efficiently, and was comprehensive. The teaching style was a mix of teaching and hands on exercises. Garfield reinforced what we learned throughout the class. We also got materials to take home. He was patient with the students and answered questions clearly and thoroughly. I was very pleased with the day.

Debra R.

The course was very helpful and it was definitely worth the time and money. Joe was an excellent teacher.

Q.W.

Another amazing Excel course taught by Garfield. He is one of the best teachers I've ever had---patient, caring, will go over anything you don't understand. If you are considering taking this course, go ahead and do it. The teachers here are phenomenal and you will definitely come away learning a lot.

Stacey B.

Joe was an excellent teacher. I love the small classes!

M.V.

Garfield did a great job teaching our class excel. Would highly recommend to folks needing a refresher or to learn some new business skills!

Elliott F.

I got a lot out of the course - definitely worth the cost.

W.B.

I learned so much! I highly recommend Advanced Excel for Business, Garfield was a great teacher!

Miranda B.

Micheal is a great teacher! Best he goes at a nice clip so I never got bored. Learned an incredible amount in a few hours.

Candice O.

Garfield is a great teacher and very patient. He really takes the time to answer all your questions and is happy to go over something again if you didn't catch it the first time. I enjoyed the excel level 1 business class he taught and will be going back for sure. I highly recommend the class and suggest you take it with Garfield.

Craig F.

Garfield was very responsive to students' questions/ requests as opposed strictly following the class program. However, I believe that not enough time was allocated to the most challenging portion of the class - pivot tables. Otherwise, I would highly recommend the class.

Maxim N.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Joe! Yours was one of the best classes I have ever had.

Claudie

Excel for Business Level 1: Garfield was a great teacher. He was thorough on each topic. The class moved at a good pace and a lot was covered in the day. I will return for the second class.

Mary Kate M.

Really comprehensive class. Michael was wonderful!

Margaret G.

It was a full day from 10am-5, fast-moving and packed with information on all the Excel basics, including on-the-spot exercises. Really useful for skills in managing all kinds of information and projects. I'd highly recommend this course, and would like to take the L2 when I'm ready!

Kathleen H.

I loved the class and our instructor Joe. I like the fact that the class was a small group with one on one attention. I never knew how great it was to work with Excel. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your classes to my co- workers and friends.

R.M.

Michael Magreta is Excellent! This is my 3rd course at NYIM Training - every class offers all that I needed an much much more!

Susan C.

Joe, I just wanted to thank you for the class. I got a lot out of it largely due to your structured and well thought- out teaching process. It is especially helpful to have both the Excel spread sheets for class and the tailored Word document as well.

A.C.

This class was very informative. I would highly recommend it for everyone and anyone whether you're highly experienced in excel, or a beginner. Instructor Michael was very helpful, patient, and answered every question with confidence.

Christopher A.

Very engaging...seemed to really care if you learned material

JM.F.

I took today the Excel for business class with Joe at the NYIM Training Room. It was great! Joe did a remarkable teaching job through the whole day.

S.T.

Michael was great with the excel training that was done at my company today. Though I knew basic excel, today I learned new tricks and new functions regarding excel.

Joanna M.

Joe was absolutely wonderful, articulate, patient, and funny!

C.A.

Fast-paced class, a lot of information in a short amount of time - condensed to most useful tips and tricks. Very glad I was able to participate as I learned a lot more than I already knew. Michael was a great instructor with a very easygoing vibe.

Roksana B.

3rd time I am taking classes with Joe. I would do it again anytime! Since you offer the possibility to take the class again for free, this is just perfect.

I.M

Great Excel class! I'm a pretty seasoned Excel user, so there were parts that were definitely review, but I still learned a whole lot. Michael kept the pace up, though not too fast, and he wasn't married to his agenda. He was flexible and was willing to answer questions at any time. The course materials were great, too, and there was sufficient time built in for completing exercises. I highly recommend.

Kate S.

Joe is great, he is patient, considerate, and I really would like having him as my teacher in another class.

B.O.

Anthony was right on point with everything. He's great! Anthony is AWESOME!!

K.R.

Joe is definitely a great mentor! Everything was pretty useful information and a great way of grasping the abilities of this program. Having done the beginners class as well, I think they are both great!

P.W.

Thank you Michael for teaching this course!! Your knowledge of the material really help me to feel confident in taking what I've learned in the classroom and applying it to my newly assigned work projects. I would recommend this class to anyone wanting a better understanding of Excel.

Tracy A.

I recommend NYIM highly because they are a pleasure to work with. Nick was wonderfully helpful and Michael is a patient excellent teacher. Thanks so much!

Teri B.

Great Excel Training! Garfield does a great job at instilling actionable tips and shortcuts that can really be used ASAP! Would recommend to anyone looking enhance their skillset!

Aston F.

Great school and Garfield is my favorite teacher. I've taken 2 excel classes with him and it's been very helpful. He is very clear and explains all the ins and outs.

Emily I.

Joe kept our attention, very friendly and upbeat, not boring. I learned far more than expected.

J.M.

Had a one on one training with Garfield - he was patient, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to expand their excel capabilities in business.

Alexandria A.

Joe was very encouraging, and helpful. Very attentive to the needs of each student. I really liked him as an instructor.

S.K.

I retook this course. Garfield did not teach my first course but he taught my second course. He is a fantastic teacher. He is so clear and methodological. I highly recommend this class.

Dominika J.

Joe is really smart and VERY helpful! I loved all of it - and I loved the workbook/worksheet we get to go home with...Really great! I had a great time...and I learned a lot of useful information.

R.M.

One-on-one Excel training with Garfield was amazing. Would highly recommend Garfield and the NYIM for any kind of Excel training or support.

Janet W.

Just finished excel level 2 class. Went to review my excel skills before starting new job but ended up learning new tricks and functions also. The lecturer (Garfield) was very calm,kind, and informative. Thank you, Garfield!

Bokyong A.

Anthony was very enjoyable and easy to learn from, all of it was useful!

M.I.

Joe was very helpful in providing individual advice!

K.B.

I took an amazing class with Michael. He is a great instructor and the course curriculum is very hands on. Thank you NYIM!!!

Joe K.

Anthony was wonderful- great teacher. Everything was extremely useful and practical; he really tailored the class to us.

B.R.

Garfield is an outstanding teacher who instructs in Excel in a logical, concise & easy to understand manner. He is also kind and affable. The school is run very well by Nick and they offer candy, coffee and hot chocolate! Michael is also a very good instructor & I now know enough Excel to work anywhere -- in just 2 sessions!!

Georgiana E.

The whole class was practical. I liked the fact that we had a small group. We received a lot of one-on-one attention from Joe and could really focus on the key items that we wanted to learn from the class.

J.A

The instructor Garfield was patient, informative and precise!

Lisa N.

Great class! The content was well organized and the instructor was excellent. He was engaging, knew the material very well and was able to adjust to the various levels of ability of the students! Would definitely recommend!

Rebecca H.

It was just perfect, I can't thank you enough!! I learned faster than expected and handed in the documents ahead of schedule. IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE, I would recommend Excel private training to everyone!!

M.L.

Just wanted to let you know that you made another happy customer. My class with Joe was everything I hoped it would be, and more. He is a superb teacher, not merely with respect to his technical expertise, but very pleasant and patient! I will sort out my schedule soon, and sign up for Advanced Excel. Thank you for all your help.

C.M.

Joe was great. Very clear and helpful. I have no complaints.

B.G.

Overall great experience in taking the Intermediate Excel Class today! Content was well organized and had appropriate progression from easy to more complex examples. Garfield, our instructor, was very knowledgabe, patient, and thorough. He also had a great sense of humor and kept the class interesting, time really flew by! I will be back to take the Advanced class and also the VBA.

Patrick M.

Joe was a very knowledgeable instructor and patient as well!!...Great class!

J.L.

Garfield and Michael were great, did the bundle, both were very generous with their time and explained information thoroughly.

James B.

Joe is fantastic. His instruction is clear and he's patient and completely open to any and all stupid questions.

B.L.

Had an amazing experience taking Excel for Business Level 2 at NYIM. The excel class helped me get back up to speed on a ton of fundamental techniques and short cuts, and the instructor was awesome. They even gave us videos to look at after we finished the class for some extra help on our own time. The actual location was convenient and comfortable, they gave us coffee tea and chcocolate- an overall great experience. Will definitely be going back for level 3.

Eddie H.

Took a retake of Excel class with Garfield. He is the best. He is patient, focused and explains everything in the clearest and easiest to understand manner. Beginners and experts will be equally impressed with his teaching ability. If you want to learn Excel or just refresh, Garfield is your guy!

Stacey B.

Garfield was very knowledgeable and took his time working with my group. Whenever one of us didn't understand he was more than happy to slow down and figure out where we were confused. Definitely recommend this place!

Sanura D.

I had a great experience in my level 2 Excel for business course. The instructor, Garfield, was very knowledgeable and patient with questions. He taught all the sections effectively and I really feel like I learned a lot from that one day session. NYIM has a really nice facility with modern computers (Macs too). The fact that they give you the chance to re-take a class free of charge within a year after the first one is amazing. I highly recommend their courses and will definitely be taking another class, or two!

Tessa P.

Just came out of my Excel Business training at NYIM. Garfield, the instructor, is really nice and very helpful. They are very professional and they provide all the necessary tools for the students to acquire all the info they need, and, in case you want to refresh your memory you can always retake the course for free within 6 months. Cool, huh?

Dana D.

Extremely enthusiastic and seems to really enjoy teaching, Anthony's great

K.B.

I'm enrolled in the Excel for Business three part series of courses. The first course was informative and very helpful! Everything is very easy to understand and the instructor works with students to make sure they are following the main concepts. The first class is a general overview of shortcuts, basic formulas, and the most useful concepts of Excel that are most applicable to the world of business and general office management. This is an all-day class and yes there is a lot of information thrown at you, but even someone with no Excel experience should not find this hard to grasp because of how it is organized.

Ryan B.

Anthony did a terrific job of teaching the material, and has a good sense of humor to keep it fun.

R.S.

Joe was very good. He communicated the information well, and kept it fun at the same time.

B.S.

Anthony was fantastic. He knows his stuff and teaches it clearly.

P.C.

Great experience, I highly recommend for anyone looking to break into consulting/banking!

Thomas P.

Took the two day Financial Modeling Bootcamp. Extremely informative and useful. Smaller class size allows for one on one help and enables you to really understand the material you are working through. Additionally you build out a model on an actual company during the course, allowing you to perform the same kind of analysis you would use in a real office setting, as opposed to looking at generic accounting problems. Office itself is very nice, and the professors are extremely well informed. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to develop, sharpen, or reestablish their financial modeling skills.

Robert F.

Joe was Easy to understand, very helpful, very nice. Lots of knowledge. The best!!!!

J.H.

Joe was very knowledgeable and patient with questions.

C.T.

I liked the instructor. I thought Joe was friendly and knowledgeable, and also very helpful with questions we had. He really made himself available if anyone needed extra help throughout the day.

E.K.

Joe was very knowledgeable and helpful. He worked fast but didn't seem to get frustrated with repeating instructions.

L.O.

Joe - you were awesome. I loved the fact that you made it so much fun and so laid back and yet so informative. I especially appreciated your patience and your ability to tell when we needed a break! A+ and definitely recommended to others.

D.J.

I took the 1-day Intermediate Excel class in-person at the NYIM center. Garfield is an excellent instructor - engaging and very knowledgeable. It was a small group setting with ~10 people, and we had one-on-one if needed. The space is comfortable with coffee and tea, and computers very good. You are able to access an online version of the training after completing the in person. I would highly recommend this class!

Liz P.

I recently took an excel VBA Class here and it was extremely helpful! The first day was a bit of a refresher, but then the class really picked up! The instructor was extensively knowledgeable and passionate about the subject! Additionally, they were ready and willing to answer all student questions and emphasized the importance of us all being on the same page, so no one felt left out. The location is also very close to Penn station, which is a definite plus if you are traveling by train!

David C.

This company is amazing. I was able to go from little to no skill in excel to very good. I feel like I have years of experience l after just a few sessions. Highly recommended!!

Ben R.

High-quality VBA training in Excel--I've taken a couple of classes, and this was by far the best--Garfield was an excellent instructor--patient, clear, and helpful. Course content felt well thought out and organized-- a nice mix of working on mapped exercises to work on discrete skills with some room to work on any problems or concerns or thoughts you might have brought to class. The supplement files/exercises provided for post-class work are solid as well. I've received a greater amount of content from some places, but the files and materials here were much more workable and better-organized.

Rob W.

I've taken excel workshops before but the Excel for Business Bootcamp is one of my tops! The instructor was patient and knowledgeable. I really like the fact that you take away different resources and that you're able to retake the course for free within 6 months.

Sara A.

The overall experience was great. I feel the instructor was well educated on the tools I needed in order to succeed in my current role. I would rate the preparation, use of time, knowledge of material and general kindness as one of the best training classes/sessions that I have ever attended. I have and will continue to recommend the folks at NYIM to others.

K. Burton of Microsoft

We hired NYIM training to provide Microsoft Excel training for UJA staff and it was the best technical training I have seen. Mourad Kattan is an outstanding facilitator and he packed the session with useful information and tips for everyone who was in the room. Also, additional video provided after the session helped to solidify the learning and review everything independently. Looking forward to bringing NYIM to UJA again in the near future!

Yelena K.

Very informative classes. I took the excel beginner and intermediate courses. While the beginner course was very basic, it still offered a lot of tips that are commonly overlooked. As someone who has used excel before I appreciated these extra tips.

Dominique C.

The way NYIM understood our business model was unmatched. They catered a full three-day bootcamp directly to our specific business needs for a class of 30 analysts. All of the new hires were engaged and walked away with a better understanding of the way that we work in the Microsoft Office suite and the way we evaluate our business. I've been to plenty of Excel bootcamps throughout my career and this was by far the best; engaging, bespoke, and immediately applicable!

I feel confident about VLOOKUPs now after attending this course.

NYIM Excel for Intermediate Business may be the reason I don't lose my job! It was efficient, to the point, covered all areas and more. I am so happy to have taken this course; most importantly, it provided a lifetime support that sets me up for success outside of the course.

Erika R.

The training I took was INCREDIBLY helpful. I took Intermediate Excel for Business online with Garfield as the instructor. The material covered in the course was uncannily relegated to my business on a day to day basis. I could not speak highly enough of Garfield as an instructor. He effectively explained all material by walking us through each step and using helpful analogies for us to have a stronger understanding of when you would use each tool. As an online course, he made sure everyone was engaged and was patient yet timely to reexplain something if people had questions. Garfield was kind enough to make himself available for me after the course as I was struggling with a challenging and important excel file I was working on. He let me share my screen with him and explain what I needed help with. His help with this file and the tools I gained from his instruction very likely are the reason I saved my job. Thank you NYIM and Garfield. If you are looking to increase your excel skills THIS is the company you should invest your time in.

Erika R.

I've taken courses at other facilities before but this one tops the charts. I had a fantastic experience learning Excel with NYIM Training. WORTH EVERY PENNY! The instructors are smart and take the time to make sure you understand the nuances of the program. The interactive learning experience really helps too. Whether you are learning Excel for the first time or just need a refresher, NYIM is the place to go

Mikhaila F.

The 3-hour Excel beginners class was surprisingly useful even for an intermediate user. The instructor (Patrick) was especially skilled at moving slowly enough for students to follow along and understand, without leaving us confused in his dust as so many trainers seem to do.

Zoom is a great way of Learning.

Laura O.

Our instructors was very easy to follow along kept everyone highly engaged . I believe there is value in this course for all levels! I'm excited for Intermediate and Advance to follow!

What is Excel?

At its base level, Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet application. However, its capabilities stretch far beyond simply storing and sharing data. Excel is a versatile piece of software that can be used to create visualizations, analyze data, and automate tasks. It can simplify datasets in Pivot Tables and even has its own programming language, VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). Like the other applications in the Microsoft Office suite, Excel is most often found and used in businesses, schools, and home offices.

While Excel is powerful by itself, it becomes even more powerful when used in combination with other apps. Excel integrates with other applications in the Microsoft Office suite, broadening the ways it can be used. You can connect Excel to PowerPoint to insert a chart into your slideshow or to Project to import data. Excel can also be integrated with a number of popular business applications outside of the Microsoft Office suite, such as QuickBooks, Hubspot, and Salesforce.

Why Learn Excel?

In the professional world, Excel is the industry-standard spreadsheet app. While there are alternatives, such as Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, and Smartsheet, none have the same level of usage as Excel. You will find it employed in home and business offices around the world. Companies and organizations in the financial, tech, commercial, health, education, and government sector use Excel. 

Knowing Excel is also useful outside of the workplace. Students in grade school or university may use Excel to make charts for reports and presentations, complete assignments for a business class, or for other projects. If you volunteer for a nonprofit, run a club, or have a side job, you can use Excel to store and sort contact information. You can also use Excel’s many templates to make calendars, planners, personal finance trackers, and even grocery lists.

What Careers Use Excel?

Many office jobs require a basic use of Excel along with other popular Microsoft Office apps like Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Working as an administrative assistant, office manager, or another desk job that requires coordinating and organizing day-to-day business activities may involve frequent use of Excel. However, knowing Excel is expected of pretty much anyone who uses a computer on a regular basis for their work. 

Excel is especially important for careers in finance. Working as a financial analyst, investment analyst, or investment banker will require heavy Excel use. Professionals in these industries rely on it to build financial models, complete calculations, and make visualizations for reports or presentations. Analysts in other industries use Excel as well. Some examples are business analysts, marketing analysts, and digital analysts. They rely on Excel to store and analyze data from sales and marketing campaigns.

What Excel Classes Are Available?

Taking an Excel course can be a great way to build career-oriented skills in fundamental skills like functions, formulas, and calculations as well as specialized skills like VBA programming and financial modeling. There are many training schools that offer Excel classes and certifications, including NYIM. You can find a wide range of Excel courses available to attend at our location in NYC or live online.

If you’re a new learner who wants to learn Excel fundamentals, check out the Excel for Business Bootcamp. This class starts with a review of Excel’s interface, formatting options, and basic calculations. From there, you’ll learn about Pivot Tables, lookup functions, and other more challenging material. By the end of the course, you’ll know advanced functions and basic macro creation. No matter what industry you’re in, the Excel for Business Bootcamp will give you relevant skills that you can apply right away.

Are you interested in learning high-level Excel skills for a finance career? There are a couple of courses you may want to consider. NYIM’s Financial Modeling Bootcamp combines advanced Excel training with lessons in corporate finance and accounting, valuation principles, and discount cash flow modeling. In the course, students use real-world financial data to create a valuation model and analyze the model to determine whether the business is a good investment. This class is best for students who already have intermediate knowledge of Excel. For a more beginner-friendly course, you can enroll in the Financial Analyst Training Program. This program kicks off with basic and intermediate Excel training before moving on to advanced Excel, corporate finance, financial modeling, and investment principles.

Programming macros allows you to automate common tasks in Excel and save time. To learn how to record and edit macros, use the VBA editor to write code, and use VBA to prevent errors, you can take Excel Programming with VBA. This course is suitable for anyone with intermediate-level Excel skills. No prior experience in VBA programming is required.

Certifications for Excel

Want to take your knowledge of Excel to the next level? Earning a Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification will help you master the use of Excel in professional settings and stand out to employers. At NYIM, you can prepare for and take the exams for two Excel MOS certifications: the Excel Specialist Certification and the Excel Expert Certification. The Excel Specialist Certification Program and Excel Expert Certification Program both include NYIM’s full Excel Bootcamp, private tutoring in Excel, study guides, and a proctored exam with a free retake.

NYIM also runs programs that allow you to earn multiple MOS certifications, including Excel. The Microsoft Master Certification Program with Access provides training, tutoring, and certification exams for Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Access. The Microsoft Master Certification Program with Outlook prepares you to earn certification in Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook.

What Should I Learn Besides Excel?

While Excel is useful as a standalone skill, it becomes even more versatile when combined with other business skills, especially those related to analytics and common office processes.

Learning other Microsoft Office apps is a good idea for anyone planning to take Excel classes. Many careers that involve the use of Excel require a background in other Microsoft Office software. Knowing how to use popular applications like Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook along with Excel will give you the skills to be successful at many basic office tasks. Excel can also be an entry point to Microsoft Office applications with a similar interface. For example, Project and Access both share features with Excel and have visual commonalities. They also both support Excel imports.

For those working in data or business analytics, it can be helpful to learn SQL and Tableau. SQL is a programming language used to query, organize, sort, and filter data stored in large databases. Tableau is an industry-standard data visualization app that can be used to generate complex charts, graphs, and maps. Learning SQL and Tableau will let you take your knowledge of data analytics to the next level. While Excel will allow you to complete basic tasks related to storing, analyzing, and visualizing data, you’ll need to know SQL and Tableau to be competitive for most analyst positions.

Another direction you can take after learning Excel is to learn Python. Python is a beginner-friendly coding language that data scientists, machine learning engineers, data analysts, and FinTech professionals use to clean and draw insight from large amounts of raw data. By developing experience in Python and widely used data science packages like NumPy, Matplotlib, and Pandas, you can broaden your career opportunities in a data-related field.

What do you want to learn in Excel? Complete Topic Guide for our Excel for Business Courses

Microsoft Excel is perhaps the most powerful application used by business professionals today. With so many functions and features, it might be daunting to get started. This guide will give you a brief overview of what Excel can do and which course would be the right fit for you. 

Beginner Excel Classes

  • Data entry & Calculations: Excel is an extremely powerful tool for calculations. Get started using spreadsheets and performing calculations. Create budgets, track expenses and projects, and more. 
  • Autofill: Save time by allowing Excel to complete patterns for you. 
  • Quick Access Toolbar: This allows users to save time by bookmarking commonly-used commands and "pinning" them to the top bar.
  • AutoSUM Functions: Learn Excel's key functions, including sum, average, max, min, and count.
  • Text Functions: Use a variety of functions to format and correct text. Change the case of text, trim unnecessary spaces, and pull the first or last characters from a cell.
  • Formatting: Create polished and presentable work by changing fonts, colors, alignment, and more. Learn shortcuts to format quickly. 
  • Format painter: Use this tool to copy the format from one cell and quickly apply to other cells.
  • Absolute cell references: Make your Excel formulas more dynamic by "locking" cells that remain constant across calculations. For example, when calculating the sales tax for multiple products, "lock" the sales tax rate to avoid retyping the formula.
  • Conditional formatting: Set predefined formats based on values. For example, format any cells greater than 100 with a light red fill. Add icons and bars to visually represent the contents of a cell.
  • Charts: Visualize and summarize data with dynamic charts. Learn the essentials of creating and formatting charts, including line charts, bar charts, and pie charts. Format the axes, add data labels, change the chart theme, and more.

Intermediate Excel Courses

  • Navigation shortcuts: Navigate around the worksheet fluently without using the mouse using CTRL, SHIFT, HOME, END and the arrow keys. Move quickly between tabs.
  • Navigation within cells: Navigate, highlight, and edit data with cells. These shortcuts will help you efficiently work with text across all the major Microsoft applications. 
  • Split and Join text: Split text to multiple columns with Text to Columns, and join text with the CONCAT function (or by using "&").
  • Dropdown menus: Create drop-down menus and restrict unwanted data entry with Data Validation. Create custom error messages and alerts.
  • Sort & Filter: Within Excel databases or tables, sort alphabetically, largest to smallest, or with a custom sort. Filter the data to show records that meet specific criteria. For example, show employees whose salaries are greater than $50,000 and who work in the New Jersey office.
  • VLOOKUP: Retrieve a value from a table based on the value in the first column. For example, retrieve the name associated with customer ID 74 (where the customer ID is in the first column. 
  • IF Statements: Write formulas that show different outputs based on a condition. For example, if the employee worked less than 40 hours, show "No overtime", and if the employee worked more than 40 hours, show the number of hours overtime worked (hours worked minus 40). 
  • SUMIFS: Sum values that meet one or more conditions. For example, the total employee salaries who work in accounting and in the Northeast region.
  • COUNTIFS: Similar to SUMIFS, COUNTIFS will count the number of items that meet one or more criteria. For example, the number of employees who work in the finance department.
  • Pivot Tables: Summarize and visualize data with Pivot Tables. For example, consider an Excel table that shows a log of t-shirt sales, with each record containing a price, size, sales rep, sale date, and customer. With Pivot Tables, you can quickly show the total amount of sales by size, the number of sales made by a specific sales rep, the sales by month or quarter, and so much more. 

Advanced Excel Training

  • Advanced Cell Locking (or Anchoring): In beginner Excel, we reviewed how to perform absolute cell references where the row and column are locked. In advanced Excel, we learn mixed cell references, which locks the row or column.
  • Hot Keys: Work in Excel without using the mouse by activating Hot Keys. Essentially, any command in Excel can be reached by a series of keyboard strokes. Learning these shortcuts will substantially expedite your workflow. For example, center align text with ALT + H + AC. 
  • Cell Auditing: Review your formulas for errors, and trace dependents and precedents. These tools allow users to track their formulas and spot errors. 
  • Conditional formatting with formulas: In the introductory Excel course, we reviewed basic conditional formatting. In advanced Excel, we make our conditional formatting more powerful by formatting cells based on a formula. For example, format cells that are greater than the value in cell C35 with a light red fill.
  • Nested IF Statements: In intermediate Excel, we cover IF statements, which allow for two options (value if True or value if False). By using Nested IFs, or an IF statement within another IF statement, we can create formulas that allow for multiple options. For example, if A1=1, then show "Base", if A1=2, show "High", if A1=3 show "Low."
  • IF Statements with AND/OR: This allows us to expand the capabilities of the logical test, the first input in the IF function. For example, for an employee to get a raise, they have to have a 4.5-star review AND have taught more than 200 students. If they are entitled to a raise, the raise should be 5% of their salary, and if not, the raise is equal to 0. The AND function allows us to specify that two or more conditions need to be met, while OR tell Excel that only one of two or more need to be satisfied.
  • Goal Seek: This is a powerful calculation tool that allows the user to change an input to achieve the desired output. For example, change the score on the final exam so that the student's cumulative average is equal to 90 (in Goal Seek, it would be: set the Average to 90 by changing the final exam score.)
  • Data Tables: With Data Tables, you can sensitize, or change, one or two inputs and show how that impacts a specified output. 
  • Pivot Charts: Once the data is summarized with Pivot Tables, we can use that summary to create charts.
  • VLOOKUP-MATCH: Make the VLOOKUP function more flexible and dynamic by adding the MATCH function for the Column input.
  • INDEX-MATCH: Create a more flexible lookup function by using INDEX. This allows users to "lookup backward" which the VLOOKUP cannot do.
  • INDEX- Double MATCH: Use two MATCH's in the INDEX function to create the most powerful and dynamic formula to extract data from tables.
  • Recording Macros: Record macros to automate a series of actions that are frequently repeated.

Why Learn Excel at NYIM Training?

There are a lot of options available when looking to learn Excel. What separates the programs from one training center from another? There are a variety of factors that can come into play, and it is worth taking a little bit of time thinking about what you want from your training experience.

Each course at NYIM includes the Excel workbook file that you use during the course and an accompanying manual that describes each exercise in detail. You’ll have the expertise and diversity of the Excel instruction team, which is not composed of full-time Excel trainers, but rather industry professionals that have transitioned to the instructor role from a large variety of backgrounds and companies. This same team meets regularly to discuss updates and changes to our Excel curriculum to provide a service we can all be proud of.

There are also after-class resources for students included. Each student at NYIM is entitled to a free retake of the course. Students that take advantage of this often cite the need to refresh their skills periodically—especially those skills that they do not use regularly in their careers.

Beyond the free retake, we also provide lifetime access to an online video suite of the same content. The video suite allows users to watch individual videos (and download the individual worksheet files) or to retake the entire course online, as often as they wish. Excel is easily one of the best forms of professional development in terms of return on investment.

At NYIM we also focus heavily on efficiency. Our courses are logically organized with demonstrations, practice, and independent mini-projects strategically placed throughout. Our goal is not just for you to learn, but for you also to retain what you learn and our learning model supports this.
