Guides and resources
The material we teach, written up so you can use it now. Written by the instructors who teach these courses, and free to read without signing up for anything.
7 clusters, four printable cheat sheets, and a library of 36 short training videos. Everything here is free and ungated. If you would rather learn it with an instructor, our course schedule covers the same ground in more depth, and the skill assessment will tell you where to start.
Excel Formulas & Functions
Lookups, conditional logic, and the functions that replace manual work. Written for people who already use Excel daily and want the formula that actually fits the job.
Excel Data & Reporting
Tables, filters, pivot tables, slicers, and Power Query — how to turn a raw export into a report you can refresh instead of rebuild.
Excel Productivity & Shortcuts
The small techniques that save the most time: navigating large sheets, cleaning data fast, auditing formulas, and recording a first macro.
Copilot & AI at Work
What Microsoft Copilot genuinely speeds up, what it still gets wrong, and how to check its work before you send it. Written by trainers who use it daily.
Bookkeeping & Accounting Software
QuickBooks Online, Sage 50 and the bookkeeping underneath both — set up the Canadian way, with GST/HST handled properly from the start.
Microsoft Word
Styles, long-document structure, tables of contents, and mail merge — the features that make a long Word document behave predictably.
Office 365 & Collaboration
OneDrive, OneNote, Teams, PowerPoint, and Project. How the Office 365 tools fit together once more than one person is involved.
Video library
36 short videos from our trainers, most of them under five minutes, covering Excel, Word, PowerPoint, OneNote and Project. Browse the video library, or start with the guide on slicers, which walks through the same material in writing.
New guides go out as they are published — get one Microsoft tip a week by email if you would rather they came to you.
