Technology Requirements for All Participants

General

This training program will be taught using Excel on a PC computer. Having said that, the material is transferable to both MAC users as well as Google Sheets users. The shortcuts and user interface in the training may differ slightly, but the concepts are the same.

Internet

    • If possible, it is strongly recommended to NOT use WiFi during the training sessions, since it may not provide a reliable connection.
    • Instead, connect your computer to your modem/router using an ethernet cable for the highest speed and most reliable connection.

Computer

    • You may use a laptop or a desktop computer for this class, but because of the nature of the class and the hands on exercises, you may NOT use an iPad, tablet, or smartphone.
    • If using a laptop, bring a power charger so you do not run out of battery! (Sadly, it has happened before).

Zoom Etiquette

    • Be considerate: Please be considerate of other participants by turning off the TV, music, or any other background noise that you can control.
    • Headphones/Earphones: You must use headphones/earphones during the class, to avoid distracting echos.
    • Close all other programs: Please close all other programs except for Zoom and Excel during the class. Not only will your computer run more smoothly, but in case you decide to share your screen, you will avoid potentially embarrassing moments (unfortunately, it has also happened before).

Excel Users ONLY

Tech Requirements

If you will be using Microsoft Excel (PC or MAC) for this training program, you must have a fully functional version of Microsoft Excel installed on your computer. That means it has been purchased, and there is a license key. That means you are NOT using a free trial version.

Versions of Excel that WILL work with this class:

 Excel 365 for PC
Excel 2021 for PC
Excel 2019 for PC

 Excel 365 for Mac
 Excel 2021 for Mac
Excel 2019 for Mac

Versions of Excel that will NOT work with this class:

Any Free Trial version for PC
 Any Free Trial version for Mac

Excel 2016 for Mac or earlier

Google Sheets Users ONLY

 

Tech Requirements

If you will be using Google Sheets (PC or MAC) for this training, it is strongly recommended to use the Google Chrome web browser. Any web browser can run Google Sheets, but if you use a web browser that is NOT Google Chrome, then certain shortcuts may be impacted and it will not be as smooth of an experience for you.
