Not sure which level fits?

Find yourself below. There is no test and no judgement.

“I mostly type lists and hope the totals are right.”

Start with Excel Basic (Level 1). You will learn how formulas work, so your totals are right because you know why.

“I can add things up, but sorting and summarising long lists takes ages.”

Excel Intermediate (Level 2) is your sweet spot: everyday functions, filters, subtotals and charts.

“I build monthly reports and copy and paste between five workbooks.”

Go for Excel Advanced (Level 3). Smarter lookups, linked workbooks and what-if tools can give you your Friday afternoons back.

Hi, I’m Keshnie. I have spent more than 10 years helping people go from “Excel scares me” to “wait, that’s it?”, and I have trained more than 1,000 people along the way.

Keshnie, NETCONFIG’s Excel trainer

Excel has learnt some new tricks

If your Excel habits date back to copy and paste and hand-typed totals, you are not alone. Today’s Excel can do a lot of the donkey work for you.

Formulas that fill themselves in

Write one formula and let Excel fill in the rest of the answers. Covered in our Advanced course.

Messy data, tidied

Clean up and combine lists without retyping them.

Summaries in a few clicks

Turn long lists into clear totals with PivotTables.

A helpful AI sidekick

Copilot can suggest formulas and explain your data, and it works best when you know enough Excel to check its homework.

Training that supports your skills development plan

Planning your Workplace Skills Plan, or tracking spend for your B-BBEE scorecard? Excel training may count towards skills development, depending on your SETA, your scorecard and whether a course is accredited. Your Skills Development Facilitator or verification agent can confirm what qualifies.

We can provide course outlines and attendance records for your files.

Excel training FAQs

Which Excel course level should I choose?

Choose Basic if you are new to Excel or self-taught, Intermediate if you are comfortable with simple formulas but want to sort, filter and summarise data, and Advanced if you build reports every week. Not sure? Tell us what you do in Excel and we will recommend a level.

How long is each Excel course?

Each level is currently a one-day course. Times and dates are arranged with you when you book.

Where does the Excel training take place?

Training is held at our head office at 28 Essex Terrace, Westville, Durban, at your offices, or online.

Will we receive a certificate?

Yes. You can choose an Attendance Certificate, or a Certificate of Competency, which requires a short assessment on the course content. Our courseware is aligned to SAQA unit standards.

Can we book group or one-on-one training?

Both. We train teams in groups, and we also offer one-on-one sessions for people who prefer a personal pace.

How much does Excel training cost?

Pricing depends on the course level, the number of people and where the training happens, so we send a clear quote once we know what your team needs.

Which version of Excel do you train on?

Our current courseware is based on Excel 2021, and the same skills apply in Excel for Microsoft 365. Let us know which version your team uses and we will tailor the examples.

Can Excel training count towards our skills development spend?

It may. Many South African employers record training like this in their Workplace Skills Plan and Annual Training Report, and it may also count towards B-BBEE skills development. The rules depend on your SETA, your scorecard and whether a course is accredited, so please check with your Skills Development Facilitator or verification agent before you book.

Psst, a tip from Bexie: if a total looks too good to be true, click the cell and read the formula. Be exceptional in everything, even your spreadsheets.
