Is there any Excel or other courses to boost career?

[Deepak Chitnis]

Hello everyone,
While completing my FRM part 1 I found out excel proficiency is very useful and needed in career for financial field. I know everything about basics but want to take deep dive into excel. Is anyone here who can suggest me any course related to excel or other financial courses which uses spreadsheets and slides. I am also thinking about financial modeling. I really appreciate if anyone help me in these.
Thanks a lot!

I came across a subscription based site for VBA and Excel called SpreadsheetSuperstar. Can't speak to it very deeply but I suspect it is informative.

Hi @brian.field, thank you very much I will definitely check it out, but other than excel do you know any computer course related to financial field? Really appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot!

Sure @Deepak Chitnis - I have worked in Finance since 1998 and the most important computer skills, in my humble opinion, relate to Excel and SAS.

After that, I would favor Matlab and lastly, C+ or C++.

From an applied finance perspective, SAS and Excel are truly industry standards.....SAS offers certifications and courses, many of which are totally free (the courses) for students!
