The course also covers how to work with worksheets and tabs in Excel, such as renaming, deleting, hiding, moving and copying.
Microsoft Excel Intermediate Certificate
This unit builds upon the progress that you have made in the Beginners unit to look at more complex functions within Excel such as averages, medians, modes and roundings and the best methods to manipulate such functions to help you to get the information that you want out of the program.
In addition, formatting methods within Excel are covered, including changing texts and backgrounds, adding special characters and using AutoFill options.

This unit is the most comprehensive and detailed of the three and aims to prepare you for jobs or situations where you require a thorough and proficient level of Excel. This unit really gets into the detail of the analytical functions of Excel, including more complex formulas such as MATCH, INDEX and VLOOKUP and, crucially, how to decide upon the most appropriate formula for a particular calculation. After completing this unit, you should feel confident to use and manipulate the largest range of Excel formulas and be able to use Excel to its full functionality.
