Work with numbers? You need to know Excel. Learn the secrets of this powerful application.


Work with numbers? Then you need to learn Excel 2007. In this unique self-paced online workshop, you'll discover dozens of shortcuts and tricks for setting up fully formatted worksheets quickly and efficiently. You'll also learn the secrets behind writing powerful mathematical formulas, using the function wizard to quickly and automatically calculate statistics, loan payments, future value, and more. You'll also learn the best ways to sort and analyse data, create custom charts and graphs, create 3-dimensional workbooks, build links between files, endow your worksheets with decision-making capabilities, and automate oft-repeated tasks with macros and buttons.

Courses are delivered to you through expertly executed lessons, online instruction and interaction with like-minded students. Our courses are designed to deliver all of the benefits of studying in a classroom whilst giving you the flexibility to study at a time and place to suit your needs. You can access your classroom 24/7 from any device with an internet connection.

This course has a 3 month duration. You'll complete comprehensive lessons, quizzes and assignments before submitting your final exam at the end of the course to achieve your certificate. Courses must be completed within the 3 month access period.

In our first lesson, you'll develop a solid understanding of the Excel interface. You'll become fluent in the secret language spoken only by Excel users, you'll discover the best way to correct just about any mistake you might make in Excel, and you'll find yourself gliding effortlessly from cell to cell, leaving behind expertly written labels, numbers, and formulas.

In this lesson, you'll learn five simple steps you should always follow to ensure that your worksheets are always well-planned, well-constructed, and beautifully formatted.

Our third lesson will teach you the tricks of the Excel masters: a wide variety of useful shortcuts guaranteed to save you time, energy, and frustration. We'll also cover the art of file management in this lesson, so you'll have no trouble saving, retrieving, printing, and emailing your worksheets, or copying, renaming, and even deleting files. By the time you finish this lesson, you'll really start to feel like an Excel pro.

Do you know the difference between a relative reference, an absolute reference, and a circular reference? You will after this lesson. Today, we focus on writing sophisticated formulas that can help ease us through some rather sticky scenarios.

With enough practice, most Excel users quickly become adept at organizing their worksheets across two dimensions: rows and columns. But only a select few will learn how to take their worksheets into the third dimension. Today, you will join that exclusive group. Prepare to have your socks knocked off as you gain hands-on experience in the construction of three-dimensional workbooks.

No Excel course would be complete without a discussion of Excel's amazing data-crunching capabilities. Today, you'll not only learn how to build a database in Excel, you'll also learn how to subtotal, sort, and filter.

In this lesson and the next, we'll explore the exciting world of charts. You'll build your first graph today, and you'll learn how easy it is to adjust the chart type, labels, titles, colors, and many other aspects of your chart.

Today, we'll dig deep into Excel's charting capabilities. You'll explore everything from bar charts and line charts to more prosaic graphs like the pie chart, the bubble chart, and 3-D charts. You'll find out how to personalize your charts with photographs, text labels, and drawings, and you'll discover the best ways to print or otherwise display the truly impressive charts that you'll be creating.

Excel includes many powerful functions that can automatically perform some very complicated tasks for you. In today's lesson, you'll learn some very interesting ways to put these functions to work for you. You'll find out how to ask Excel to magically derive averages, modes, maximums, minimums, and other useful statistics from nothing more than a column or two of numbers.

We'll continue our exploration of Excel functions with an in-depth look at Excel's handy financial functions today. By the time this lesson is over, you'll be able to figure out how much money you'll have when you retire, when your kids reach college, or just before your next vacation. You'll be able to calculate the monthly payment on just about any type of loan, and you'll know how to figure out how long it will take to pay off your credit cards. You'll even create an amortization table of your very own, just like the one lenders use to track a loan's payoff amount over time.

Students often rank this lesson as one of their favorites. Today, you'll find out how to automate just about any task you find tedious or time-consuming. You'll discover how to move your most frequently used commands from their present, obscure locations to a much more convenient place: the toolbar that's always perched at the very top of your screen. You'll also learn how macros can be used to reduce just about any complex task to a single keystroke.

I think you'll be intrigued by our final lesson, in which you'll teach Excel not only how to make decisions, but also how to act upon those decisions. We'll use a special function in Excel that allows it to make comparisons and use that comparison as the basis for important decisions.

Meet Nicole Scott

Dog Grooming Diploma Graduate

From a student to the proud owner of Pawfection Pet Service - Dog Grooming, Nicole's journey has been an exhilarating one.

The desire to be her own boss has always burned within Nicole, especially considering her nomadic lifestyle and her imminent plans of starting a family. During her travels, fate led her to cross paths with a remarkable lady who happened to be a skilled groomer. It was in that moment that she knew, without a doubt, that dog grooming was the perfect fit for her.

Not only did it align with her aspirations, but it also granted her the opportunity to work alongside her most cherished creatures - dogs! And so, armed with a diploma and a 10-month-old bundle of joy, Nicole embarked on her entrepreneurial journey.

Setting up her business from the comfort of her own home allowed her the flexibility she craved, while still being able to adapt to her ever-changing locations. With the business officially registered since the end of October, each passing week has brought her newfound success and satisfaction. Her confidence flourished when consistently working with furry clients week after week.

"I am grateful for the path I have chosen, as it has given me the freedom to pursue my passions while accommodating the various chapters of my life. The joy of running my own dog grooming business is immeasurable, and I look forward to the continued growth and prosperity that lies ahead." Nicole.

After dedicating 35 years to the insurance industry, Lisa finally decided to pursue her long-held dream of starting a dog grooming business. The leap she took turned out to be a life-changing decision she has never regretted.

Lisa studied with us back in 2019, and has remained closely connected ever since. Her expertise and experience are now featured in our dog grooming courses through her video series titled 'At Home With Lisa.'

Word of Kelly's exceptional grooming skills spread like wildfire, resulting in a rapid influx of clients. The demand grew so rapidly that Kelly soon found herself extending her working hours to full-time, offering a comprehensive range of services.

As her reputation grew, Julie found herself tending to the grooming needs of dozens of dogs on a regular basis.

Meet Alyson Bratt

 Dog Grooming Bundle Graduate

In April 2021, Alyson mustered up the courage to open her own salon, aptly named Scrub Woofers Dog Grooming. Nervously stepping into this new chapter of her life, she harbored concerns about acquiring enough clients. To hedge her bets, she decided to maintain her two part-time jobs while launching her business. However, the unexpected happened: within a mere two weeks, her appointment book overflowed, leaving her with no choice but to bid farewell to her other employment commitments.

Alyson's success quickly became evident as she earned a remarkable 5 out of 5-star rating on her Facebook page. Her clients couldn't resist showcasing the transformation of their beloved dogs through the countless professionally groomed pictures posted on her page. The visual testament to her skill and dedication attracted a growing audience and solidified her reputation as a top-notch groomer.

Meet Amanda Toohey

Dog Grooming Diploma Graduate

Amanda's friend was a dog groomer, who she used to watch groom her dogs. At the time, she was contemplating a career change, so decided to enrol in the Dog Grooming Diploma while still working, to see if it was the right path for her. Being able to complete the course at her own own pace, especially since she was a single, working, full-time mum was the real draw card for her.

Amanda approached her groomer friend and asked if she could assist her. Soon enough, she began washing and drying the dogs under her guidance. As she progressed through the course, her friend would demonstrate what she was learning, allowing her to gradually practice on some well-behaved dogs, such as shaving pads and trimming nails.

Currently, Amanda works part-time at a dog grooming and day care facility. However, has recently embarked on her own dog grooming business from the comfort of her own home. On her days off, she will now be working there. With the hope of gaining more clients, her aim is to eventually quit her current job and transition to full-time work from home.

Meet Chloe Berry

Dog Grooming Diploma Graduate

The idea of pursuing a career in dog grooming first crossed Chloe's mind when her employers shifted their focus from horse training to building a dog boarding facility. With a strong background in working with animals, dog grooming immediately caught her attention. Unfortunately, attending a physical grooming school wasn't feasible for her due to both her location and financial circumstances. However, she discovered our Dog Grooming Diploma, which allowed her to pursue her studies without having to relocate or change her current employment.

It has been nearly a year since she launched her own mobile grooming business, Chloe's Doggy Doo's. Initially, she started with a trailer, but as her business flourished, she upgraded to a van. Balancing grooming responsibilities while working part-time, she quickly found herself working full-time hours within just six months. The workload often extended beyond regular hours, but she embraced the challenge with enthusiasm.

"Undoubtedly, enrolling with Vibe Learning and embarking on my career as a dog groomer has proven to be the best decision I've ever made. I am immensely grateful that I took that leap, as it has brought me so much satisfaction and fulfillment in my professional life." Chloe.

Meet Leanne White

Dog Grooming Diploma Graduate

"My dog grooming journey began when my elderly poodle was refused grooming because he was getting too old and grumpy. I thought wow what am I to do? I will try and learn myself… so my journey begins! I enjoyed every aspect of the course as it gave me more knowledge to groom effectively and having a Shih Tzu and now a Maltese it gives me the freedom to practice when necessary to a point where I am quite confident to groom.

I don’t have a business but that was my intent initially after a redundancy  but I just help others out at times and of course groom my own dogs. I guess you could call it my Hobby."

Meet Brooklyn Turner

 Dog Grooming Bundle Graduate

Brooklyn, one of our remarkable success stories, truly embodies inspiration and determination. Despite her young age, she accomplished an incredible feat by graduating with her Dog Grooming Diploma while simultaneously completing her Year 12 studies at school. Building upon her educational foundation, she took the initiative to establish a part-time grooming salon right in the comfort of her own home.

Eager to gain further practical experience, Brooklyn seized an opportunity and secured a grooming position at a small, family-owned salon. Her expertise shines as she specialises in Asian Fusion and Teddy Bear grooming styles, showcasing her unique skills and artistic flair.

Brooklyn's unwavering dedication and drive have propelled her forward, making her a shining example of what can be achieved through passion and hard work. Her journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring groomers of all ages, illustrating that age is never a barrier to pursuing one's dreams and excelling in the grooming industry.
