MOS: Microsoft Office Excel Expert course — FAQ

What is included in the Advanced Excel Expert course?

The course covers workbook management and protection, advanced data formatting and validation, nested and lookup functions, what-if analysis, formula auditing, macros, PivotTables, PivotCharts and advanced chart types.

Should I learn Excel Associate before Excel Expert?

Yes. Excel Expert assumes you already handle formulas, tables and charts confidently. If you are new to Excel, start with MOS Excel Associate.

How long is the MOS Excel Expert course?

The MOS Excel Expert course is 24 hours long and is built around exercises on real business data such as sales, payroll-style and inventory sheets.

Can I learn advanced Excel online?

Yes. Besides classroom training at CADD centres, MOS Excel Expert runs as live online classes in which you practise on business data on your own computer with trainer support.

Do I get a certificate after the Excel Expert course?

Yes. A CADD Training Centre certificate is issued when you finish the MOS Excel Expert course, and an MIS or finance employer can check it online by scanning its QR code. The counsellor can also guide you on the Microsoft Office Specialist exam.

What jobs need advanced Excel skills?

Advanced Excel is expected for MIS executive, data analyst, financial analyst, accounts executive, operations coordinator and reporting roles in almost every industry.

What is the difference between VLOOKUP and XLOOKUP?

VLOOKUP searches only the first column of a range and returns a value to its right. XLOOKUP can look in any direction, returns exact matches by default and handles missing values neatly, so it is more flexible.
