Frequently asked questions

Are there any prerequisites for this course?

  • The only prior knowledge you need is basic knowledge of Excel (and you can probably get away without that even)! In fact, one of the themes of the course is using ChatGPT to fill gaps in your Excel knowledge base, meaning less prior knowledge of Excel should have no negative (and possibly positive!) impact on your learning experience.
  • You will need access to any version of Excel (Excel 365 is used for demonstrations)

Do you provide a certificate of completion?

We definitely do and they are quite nice. You will also be able to add Zero To Mastery Academy to the education section of your LinkedIn profile as well.
