Excel for Beginners

Struggling with spreadsheets and not sure where to start? New to Excel? No worries! In this hands-on class, we’ll turn you from a spreadsheet spectator into a confident creator. Join Kathryn Van de Houten, Senior Excel Instructor, to learn the basics—navigating Excel, entering data, simple formulas, formatting tricks, and more! By the end, you’ll be organizing information like a pro and wondering how you ever lived without it.

Please bring your preferred method of note taking. Bringing a laptop with Excel installed will help you follow along and get the most out of the class but is not required.

This class is perfect for anyone who wants to build confidence using Excel—whether you're managing personal budgets, organizing to-do lists, or looking to boost your skills at work. If you’ve ever opened a spreadsheet and felt overwhelmed, or just want to be more efficient in your personal or professional life, this class is for you. No prior experience needed—just curiosity and a desire to get things done smarter, not harder.
