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.

Microsoft Excel is the most popular data management software used in offices around NYC. With a Microsoft Excel certification on your resume, you'll be a competitive candidate for administrator, analyst, and strategist positions that require the ability to enter, manage and draw insights from data quickly. The primary topics on the Excel Specialist Exam require students to do the following tasks:
See Microsoft's Excel Certification page for more information on the exam topics.
We offer three Excel classes geared towards passing the various Excel certification exams: Fundamentals, Intermediate, and Advanced. Though you'll only need material covered in the Fundamentals and Intermediate course to pass the Microsoft Excel Specialist Certification exam, all three courses are included in the Specialist training fee.
In the Fundamentals course, you'll learn essential shortcuts, automatic calculation, cell formatting, charts. In the Intermediate course, you'll learn Pivot Tables–Excel's secret weapon to summarize data sets and statistical functions. In the Advanced course, you'll learn advanced formulas, additional features of Pivot Tables, and how to record macros for repetitive tasks.
In addition to the three group classes, you'll also have access to three video course libraries, one at each course level to reinforce what you've learned in class. After completing the three courses, course retakes, and video training, you'll have the skills to pass the Specialist Exam on your first attempt. You'll also get two hours of private tutoring to get one-to-one assistance in areas where you need it most.
The Expert Exam is more specific and advanced, so we provide an additional four hours of private tutoring in that package. For details on topics covered on that exam, see the Excel Expert Certification page.
According to studies by employment professionals, holding a MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) certification can increase your salary by $16,000 or more annually compared to uncertified peers. Microsoft Excel is arguably the most crucial skill you can possess in the workforce today. For only $899, you can get over 20 hours of Excel training (3 group classes & 2 hours of private training) and earn your Excel certification.
See for yourself how getting your Excel certification can transform your career.
“Are you experienced in Excel?” is a common, yet poorly-worded question asked by supervisors and hiring managers to weed out inexperienced professionals. What exactly do they mean by “experienced”? And how can you prove or demonstrate your skills on the spot?
Fortunately, Microsoft created a simple solution to this question with Microsoft Excel Specialist Certification. Excel certification from Microsoft means your Excel skillset is substantial. Earning certification removes the relative value judgment from your answer (“I am very capable”) and replaces it with quantitative proof ("I earned a 900 on my Microsoft Excel Certification Exam").
But, why become certified? Excel is easily one of the most in-demand skills required by employers. With the increased focus on data and finding analysts and strategists, proving your ability to manage data quickly and efficiently has never been more critical. It communicates to employers that you possess a certain level of knowledge and mental acuity in data management techniques, which are more effective than claiming to be "really good” at Excel.
How do you become certified? By taking a test; specifically, a 50-minute, 30+ question, task-based exam. If you score 700 or higher, you become certified! A score of 70% doesn't correspond to 700. A 700 score is a scaled-score dependent upon the question difficulty and determined by SME (Subject Matter Experts) before the exam. Once certified, you are certified for life.
Is certification worth it? If you are interested in advancing your career, increasing your earning potential, and proving your experience without having to say a word, certification is certainly something to think about. A Microsoft Excel certification can help you achieve all of these goals. Take the first step and enroll in Microsoft Excel Specialist Training at NYIM today.
Microsoft offers two levels of certification for Excel users: Excel Specialist and Excel Expert.
While both the Specialist and Expert Certifications are official Microsoft certifications (with 50-minute exams administered by Certiport), the Expert Certification is a higher level of certification and covers more advanced topics. The Microsoft Specialist Exam is suitable for experienced professionals that want to demonstrate proficiency in Excels core functions–data entry, cell formatting, tables, and charts.
Here is a basic topic comparison between the certifications:
As you can see, the Expert Certification takes each topic to the next level. Essentially, the Specialist exam covers topics mostly covered in our Fundamentals and Intermediate classes, while the Expert exam cover topics from all three levels.
For the Excel Specialist Certification, the exam you will take is called "Excel 2016: Core Data Analysis, Manipulation, and Presentation" (other versions are available upon request) and is administered by Certiport. The cost of the exam and proctoring for the exam is included in the Certification Bundle price. NYIM is an authorized Certiport testing center, and we will work with you before the exam to ensure you're ready for the exam.
You can attend this training live online at the scheduled time the course is offered (New York, Eastern Time) through screen-sharing software Zoom (free for you).
