Spreadsheets (Excel & Google Sheets)

Organising, cleaning and summarising information in rows and columns, with formulas, sorting, filters and simple charts.

Common in data and reporting, administration and virtual assistance, and operations roles.

Is this actually your gap?

If you already keep trackers, reconcile figures or build reports in Excel or Google Sheets at work, you probably don’t need a beginner course. The skill may just be missing from your CV or Profile, and that is a proof gap, not a skill gap.

Missing a keyword on your CV doesn’t mean you need a course. This page can’t tell which one you have. Only you know what you’ve done.

Step 1

Practise

Start by doing. Practice shows you what you can already do, and what’s actually missing. Practice is not work experience.

Step 2

Learn

Use a course for the parts practice showed you’re missing. Finishing a course shows what you studied. It doesn’t show that you’ve used the skill at work.

Step 3 · Optional

Credential

Optional. Most roles judge spreadsheet skill by what you can show, not by a certificate.

When you’ve practised

Practice and courses aren’t work experience. When you’ve used the skill for a real organisation, that work can become experience.
