Courses are our most cost-efficient path for you to learn about Google Sheets or Excel. Courses are small (a maximum of about 6 students) and live on Zoom. The online format allows students to join from all over the world and our small class sizes provide a learning environment where students can ask more questions and get individual guidance and feedback.

How often are courses scheduled?

At this time, we plan to offer courses in October, November, and April.

Mastering spreadsheets is essential for seamless camp management. Our tailored courses are perfect for busy program directors, office coordinators, interns, and staff members who rely on spreadsheets daily.

Marcie's spreadsheet course was the kind of class I've needed for so long but never knew existed. And it was FUN! Marcie made learning about spreadsheets exciting, and I felt like I'd gotten my money's worth within 20 minutes of each class. Marcie isn't just a spreadsheet wizard, either; she's someone you want to hang out with. I loved that the remote class was small and interactive, and that Marcie was so responsive to live questions. It felt like we were a real team workshopping things together. Each class was packed with concrete skills, tips and tricks that I could start using as soon as class ended. Thank you Marcie!
