These paths are simply recommended and by no means cover every topic. We want to provide you with a sampling of the major concepts of spreadsheet knowledge.
Each track consists of 10-15 lessons. Each lesson includes a video tutorial. Most also provide you with the referenced spreadsheet, which you can download, follow along, and try on your own. The spreadsheets are currently read-only: so, to edit and experiment with them, first save a version of the spreadsheet onto your Google drive.
Our curriculum can be accessed here: Spreadsheet Solving Curriculum
While we recommend these paths, the sequence of the videos is by no means fixed! Many of the topics are “stand-alone” topics, meaning that they can be learned without any prior knowledge. However, there are some topics, particularly in the Intermediate II and Advanced levels where having an understanding the basics will help you better grasp them!
We have created playlists in YouTube, so that you can watch the videos within each track continuously. Click on the YouTube button to view the playlist.
The Beginner Track provides an intro to spreadsheets. This track is ideal for those who haven’t seen a spreadsheet or want to brush-up on basics. Learn the basics to create frameworks that help you make better decisions and to track goals!
