As the training specialist for a small business, I was sometimes called on to create training programs for specific businesses. The following links lead to some of the handouts I gave to the classes. (Note: although these were all prepared for instructor-led, classroom courses, I have also taught one on one and online, using the Go To Training (Go To Meeting) interface.

The following classes are all Excel classes. Excel was by far the most frequently requested class that I taught. Sometimes, instead of getting a long class that touched on the basics, clients wanted something more in depth and centered on one topic or another.

Instructor Notes on Excel Formula & Function Basics and QRG (Quick Reference Guide) for Excel Formula & Function Basics
Quick Start Notes for Excel Online Class
Online Classes (designed to be about 2 hours long)

Here is the evaluation form that I created for the classes. Evaluation Form
