FAQs

Why should I take this course?

We believe in building from the ground up, regardless of level. We’ve worked with Excel users across all levels and even those who classify themselves as “expert” have benefited from our courses. Elite proficiency saves hours of time and builds a strong foundation for subsequent concepts, especially if you want to learn Excel VBA. We teach the functionality that unlocks these success-yielding efficiencies, which are applicable in any Excel-based role.

Who should take this course?

These courses aren’t just for Investment Bankers or Corporate Finance professionals. We have trained professionals in Finance, Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Analytics. If you use Excel in any capacity, these courses are for you.

What if I don’t like the course?

If you are unsatisfied with the course, let us know. We’ll refund your purchase provided you contact us within 30 days of purchase and refrain from watching more than 25% of course content.

Should I take the course if I am using Excel for Mac?

Microsoft built its software for PC platforms, so full functionality is designed for PCs. Thus, courses are designed and taught with a PC. Shortcut keys may be different across PC and Mac, but functionality is nearly identical, and the techniques are agnostic. For example, Ctrl+S (PC) = Command+S (Mac).

How do I know my payment is secure?

We accept payment via Stripe. All payments are processed securely using 128-bit SSL encryption. Furthermore, we encrypt all the data passing between our site and your device using HTTPS.
