CE-34PA1003X - Introduction to Excel Personalized Training
The University of Cincinnati Clermont College offers personalized Excel training for professionals who want to quickly build practical skills using their own data and workflows. This customized instruction is designed to improve efficiency, strengthen analytical capabilities, and develop reusable tools for reporting and decision-making.
Rather than following a fixed curriculum, training is tailored to each participant’s goals, data, and workflow needs. Topics may include PivotTables, data organization, template creation, reporting processes, and strategies for managing large or nuanced datasets. Participants are encouraged to bring workplace data so the training can directly support immediate job responsibilities.
Training is led by an Excel subject matter expert who also serves as a campus data analyst, providing both technical instruction and practical guidance on workflow design and data interpretation.
Sessions may be delivered in person or virtually and typically include approximately four hours of customized instruction. Scheduling is flexible and may be arranged as one longer session or several shorter sessions to support learning and application.
This offering is ideal for professionals seeking targeted skill development, practical problem-solving, and immediate workplace impact.
After registration, Julie Eagen, UC Clermont instructor, will contact you to coordinate the training date, time, and delivery modality. Payment is due at the time of registration.
Please allow at least one month of advance notice for instructor preparation; shorter timelines may be accommodated when possible. If a mutually agreed-upon training date cannot be scheduled within six months of enrollment, a full refund will be issued.
