Microsoft Excel
Gloria K is offering an evening program in Microsoft Excel on both the beginning and intermediate/advanced levels. These courses may be taken individually, but some students take both courses starting with the beginning and progressing to more advanced levels.
We offer group as well as one-on-one training. The course is hands on with you performing the exercises and real-world projects. An experienced, New York State licensed instructor will guide you, clarify information and answer questions. Our facility is located in Lake Success, New York.
Evening classes
Our evening classes meet Tues/Thurs evenings from 6 pm to 8:30 pm.
The course is 20 hours in total.
Class sizes are small (usually 5 or 6 students).
Textbooks are available for loan (no charge) or purchase.
