Hands-on programme · 3 days

You no longer need to memorise formulas.

You need to know what you want from your data — AI writes the formula. Three days that take you from hesitating in front of a spreadsheet to full confidence.

📅 3 days × 3 hours ⏱ 9 hours 🗣 Arabic delivery 💻 Work on your own data
✓ From zero — no experience needed ✓ Certificate of attendance ✓ Practice files included

Everyone has Excel. Few actually use it

It is not a question of ability — nobody ever taught you in a practical way.

⏳ Hours on a ten-minute job

Copying and pasting by hand, rebuilding the same monthly report from scratch — when it could take minutes.

😰 Fear of formulas

You know VLOOKUP exists but avoid it. Every time you search YouTube for the same thing, then forget it again.

❌ Errors that cost you

A wrong figure in a report that reached management. A row deleted by accident. A sheet only you understand.

What changed in 2026

The skill moved from memorising to asking

Nobody needs to memorise the syntax of 50 functions any more. But you still need to know what to ask for, and to check the answer is right. That is what we train.

Before

"I want to total sales per branch…" → Google → an English article → a 12-minute video → trial and error → an hour gone, maybe.

After

Describe what you want in Arabic to the AI → get the formula and its explanation → paste it → verify it yourself → two minutes.

⚠️ But note: AI does get formulas wrong sometimes — and someone without the fundamentals will not catch it. That is why we build the foundation first, then add AI on top.
From real work

What will you be able to do after three days?

💰 Finance & accounting

A monthly expense report that builds itself

One clean table and a PivotTable summarising spend by category and month — update it by adding rows.

👥 HR

Track attendance and leave

A file that calculates remaining leave automatically and flags overruns with conditional formatting.

📦 Inventory & procurement

Alerts when stock runs low

An item list that turns red at the reorder point, with fast lookup via XLOOKUP.

📈 Sales

A simple performance dashboard

Sales by branch and month with a chart that updates itself — ready to present.

🏛 Government

Clean up messy data

Trailing spaces, mixed date formats, duplicates — cleaned in repeatable steps instead of by hand.

🏪 Business owners

Track income and expenses

One file giving you monthly profit and growth without complex accounting software.

Common questions

My level is very low — can I keep up?

Yes. Day one starts from zero and assumes no prior knowledge. If you can open a file and type in a cell, you are in the right place.

I already know Excel — will I benefit?

If you are comfortable with PivotTables and XLOOKUP, day one will be a quick refresher, but days two and three — especially the AI work — will add a lot. Message us and we will give you an honest view before you book.

Do I need a Microsoft Copilot subscription?

No. We use free AI tools that work alongside any version of Excel, including older and free web versions.

What should I bring?

A laptop with Excel (any version) and, if possible, a file from your real work — we use it in the final project.

Is it taught in Arabic?

Yes, fully in Arabic. Function names stay in English because that is how they appear in the software.

What if I miss a day?

Tell us in advance and we will arrange for you to attend that day with the next cohort at no extra cost.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes — a Taim Academy certificate of attendance after completing all three days.

Excel is a skill you use every working day

Three days against years of slow manual work. And AI makes learning it faster than it has ever been.
