Excellent course for a great value. I am a business analyst for a Fortune 100 company and the concepts I improved on in this class will both improve the quality of my work and boost my team's productivity.

Lindsay Vacek

The best, most engaging Excel course I've taken to date! Mike was absolutely fabulous. I took the intro Excel course with him and was so excited to see that he was teaching this course today! Mike isn't just an exceptional instructor, but also a master at engaging his students. His teaching style is the perfect mix for me: keeping the topics light while introducing game-changing knowledge and insights.

Alex Gagne

Garfield is great. I enjoyed his instruction and learned a lot about the structure of Excel VBA.

I would recommend the Excel training classes at NYC Career Centers. If you are looking to enter back into the job market or just want to update your skills - then NYC Career Centers is the place to do it. The teachers are well versed in their courses and have a helpful attitude. The school is centrally located in NYC. The classrooms are extremely clean. They offer both online and in-person classes. Listen, it is time to go for it!!!!

Annette Peterson

As a long-time user of Excel in both my professional and personal life, I was apprehensive on what I can learn from an instructor-led course on such a specific topic as Visual Basic that I couldn't learn by watching YouTube videos. The instructor and class interactions helped me learn how to approach solutions using this tool. I would highly recommend these courses to my peers who are interested in expanding their knowledge base.

Ernesto Rosario

The class was thorough and interactive!

Khadijat Dawson

Perfect for anyone who uses Excel in their day-to-day life! Learned many new shortcuts for Excel and my new favorite: the XLOOKUP.

Matthew Cadrin

Great instructor, would definitely recommend for new users. Awesome!

Pamela Yamel

I came in knowing nothing about VBA and macros. I left with a sufficient enough understanding to continue mastery at home or in the office!

Alex Syku

Mike G. helped learning about macros and some of the more advanced functions in Excel truly interesting! He taught the course in a personable, fun way that really destroyed the bad rep that Excel gets as 'boring' and 'impossible.'

Kimberley Campbell

I loved the instructor's style and real-life integration. It assisted in my learning and absorption. The class had very informative, relative, and actionable content. I would recommend this to all my peers.

Eric Perez
OVED

I really loved the follow-along workbook. It made it easier to understand and learn the new functions being taught. I especially love that we have it for future reference when attempting to utilize the new tools learned.

Elisabeth Swain

This class was great! I am excited to implement what I learned in my work.

Edison Won

I only wish I'd taken these courses earlier - so much of what I've learned would have made me far more efficient in my job. I look forward to using these skills and hope to take more classes from NYC Career Centers.

Sherilyn Smith

Overall, highly recommend.

Francesca Cara

Debbie made this class. How she got these tough concepts to stick in my brain I'll never know, but I'll always be grateful as it is going to give me back so much time in my work!

Allison Iarocci

As a self-taught Excel user for many years, this course is a great way to fill in blanks, understand why things work the way they do, and move you forward in ways you may never have been able to on your own.

Timothy Falcioni

If the class is about Excel and if the instructor is Debbie Cunningham, TAKE IT. Even if it's just a refresher course, I promise it will be both informative and enjoyable.

Manna Yamasaki

Solid introductory course if you have never opened VBA Editor. You will learn how to navigate the UI and write your very first Excel code.

Michael Kerr

I have used Excel at work for years but I picked up so many tips and learned new functionality. I will be much more efficient after this class!

Chipo Sachirarwe

Really enjoyed this course. Super succinct and covers a wide range of topics.

Kelly Ginsberg
L'Oreal

OMG! Ade was an excellent instructor! He explained things in a very clear way; he was thorough yet not overwhelmingly so. Definitely would recommend.

TiffanyMarie Gorritz
Ortho Clinical Diagnostics.com

Very good! Day 2 of a 2 day course - really did not think the instructor (Peter) could have been better than day 1 instructor (Ade). While they are different, they are both great! I really appreciate the time Peter spent on the difficult topics today. Made them very simple to understand which will really help with recollection!

TiffanyMarie Gorritz

Great class if you're looking to enhance your professional skills!

Nitza Rochez
adidas AG

I did the all day class on a Sunday. I thought it would be a long grueling day, but it was actually enjoyable and went by really fast.

Lisa Dag
Merrill Lynch

Patrick is a fantastic instructor. This was my second time taking the Excel class with him. His pace is just right, he waits for every single person in the class to finish before he moves on to the next task and doesn't over-complicate things. He's always open to explaining again and sometimes shows shortcuts while he does that. His teaching style is incredible and I'd definitely recommend him.

Hanisha Grover
Macy's

Liked the pace at which the class went and was able to cover all the concepts for the day.

Frank Cordova

Teaches tips and tools with step-by-step instructions that never leave you behind.

    Great class! The instructor really knew her stuff. I learned more about Excel than I was expecting to.

  • Julie S. Dec 13, 2024

    I only have positive things to say. The instructor was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. I thought it was impressive that he was able to support students with more basic Excel knowledge but still pace the class to keep the rest of the group stimulated. The material was clear, organized, and presented with a logical flow. The INDEX MATCH and macro sections were particularly helpful. I will be back for additional courses.

  • Akeem James Dec 2, 2024

    This Excel course was well worth it. It definitely helped to build skills and grow competency. I think any novice or expert can learn something by attending a class like this.

  • Jonathan Sorocki Nov 13, 2024

    I use Excel frequently. Starting with Level 1, I learned some great tips and tricks to improve efficiency. By the end of Level 3, I felt like an Excel wiz! 10/10 would recommend.

    Time well spent! Jeannette was lovely, she explained the topic well, and she helped when we got lost.

  • Natalia Ruiz Oct 16, 2024

    Excel I and II have been very helpful in my new role. I work in hospital administration, and although I had some knowledge of Excel, it was extremely basic compared to all the helpful skills learned in these classes. I am already implementing some of them in my data analysis and presentation. Highly recommended!

  • Karina Bradley Sep 27, 2024

  • Michael Kerr Aug 22, 2024

    Solid introductory course if you have never opened VBA Editor. You will learn how to navigate the UI and write your very first Excel code.

    This class provided a very useful Excel refresher and some new tools. We were challenged to think about scenarios in which we would utilize the skills at our jobs. I look forward to implementing the skills and tools that were covered in this class into my day-to-day work.

  • Jacob Wahl Jul 28, 2024

    Great instructors, great class materials, and a great overall experience. In my experience, this course is far and away better than anything you can do on LinkedIn Learning and certainly better than just watching YouTube videos. It really made a difference in my knowledge of Excel. The main advantage of this class is being able to work with pre-loaded data on the provided spreadsheets, which provided me with real-world experience using the techniques taught in the class. I highly recommend it!

An Introduction to Visual Basic for Applications

Visual Basic for Applications (more commonly known as VBA) is a programming language that works with Microsoft Applications. Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and other applications have a unique variant of VBA designed to work with that program. With all of the buzz about coding languages like Python, Java, and JavaScript, you may wonder if you really need to learn VBA.

If you use Excel daily, especially if you complete the same tasks repeatedly, learning VBA is an investment that is well worth your time. VBA is used to write macros, which are blocks of code that automate repetitive tasks. You can write code with the VBA editor or Developer tab.

There are two specific use cases when you want to use VBA:

  • Conducting multi-step tasks that require you to sit at a computer for hours
  • Expanding the functionality of Excel to include a form or user interface

The benefits of using VBA include:

  • Reduce human error - with VBA, you’ll reduce human error by automating tasks
  • Increase your value - boost your role within the company as the resident Excel expert
  • Save money - Save money by saving time when you automate tasks with VBA
  • Learn quickly - You don’t need to learn new software; build on your existing Excel skills
