The courses focus on one of the most universal applications of Excel, financial modeling.”

Julius Owusu-Kyerematen, who’s also the author of the book Love to Excel added that “in an increasingly analytical workplace, all professionals are expected to have a certain level of proficiency with Excel and be able to apply it to these core business situations”.

The Excel for Business courses are being offered from Beginner level for those with low comfort in Excel, through Intermediate and Advanced levels. The Academy also caters to the training needs of corporates, offering customized on-site training for their employees.

Mr. Owusu-Kyerematen assured the public that the courses will be delivered by highly qualified instructors of the Love to Excel Academy and will draw on proprietary cases based on our African context.
