Hi all,

I want to upskill my aunty. She has below average skills, and does things like send a screenshot, when I want the copy paste of the text string (not an image).

She stores files and folders in the wrong place.

Writes notes on paper, rather than copy / paste.

She wrangles spreadsheets in a very tedious manner. Rather than running formulas, or selecting and dragging a series etc.

Are there any online courses, even if paid, that are QUALITY, that can take someone up a level to be a bit more savvy?

She has an admin job, and fears for her work. So, I want to help her.

Yes, her work has said they'll pay if she finds something appropriate, but I said I'd look to help.

Any help would be great! Thank you

~~Can you check out courses at her local library? There's usually fantastic resources through libraries. Or else local community colleges.~~

I just realized you said online courses.

I agree with the other poster that Udemy is good. But there's almost guaranteed to be some other courses through Microsoft themselves. They probably have some sort of learning resources page on their website. That may help with the excel stuff.
