Can I learn Excel or Word online for free?

Question

I'd love an office job. I'm a very fast and accurate typist, I'm extremely computer literate. I just lack the qualifications to put on my resume. I'm sure learning Excel, Word, Office or any of the programs typically necessary for receptionist/data entry work, would be extremely easy for me. Most job listings I read require knowledge of spreadsheets, etc.

Basically, I'm wondering if there are any websites that can tutor you with these programs for free? I'm sure I could just download/buy the programs and figure it out myself, but surely I'd benefit from any kind of overhand guidance. Thanks for any and all help!

Answer 1

To answer your specific question - The site below lists loads of courses from different people. You have to scroll down a bit past the ads until you come to the list. One big decision you need to make is what version to learn. There is a major difference between Office 2003 and Office 2007. My vote would be learn Office 2003 - most companies are not making the switch.



You could download a trial version of Office 2007 - dont know if you can download a trial version of excel 2003. or do as someone recommended Open office version 2. This is almost fully compatible with MS Office. (I havent found any problems with it)

Answer 2

You can learn Excel, word and office at home. Microsoft provides adequate tutorials to help you master the programs. I did learn from home without any instructions but you have to be patient. There are other available resources such taking courses from schools or colleges.

Good luck
