Practical learning with AI support — organise your data, perform calculations and build simple reports, step by step and with full confidence, without AI replacing your understanding of Excel.
It is not a question of ability — nobody ever taught you in a practical way.
Copying and pasting by hand, rebuilding the same monthly report from scratch — when it could take minutes.
Cell references and symbols make you pause, or you copy a formula without understanding why it worked — or why it returned the wrong result.
A wrong figure in a report that reached management. A row deleted by accident. A sheet only you understand.
The programme does not teach you to hand your work over to AI. We first build practical Excel understanding, then show you how to ask for a formula explanation, a simple solution or help diagnosing an error — while checking the result yourself.
You copy a formula from the internet, change a few cells, then cannot tell why it failed or whether the result makes sense.
You understand the task and the data, ask AI for an explanation or suggestion, then test it on a simple example and review it before relying on it.
Enter and arrange data in a clear table with suitable headings and formats.
Use core formulas and functions for everyday calculations with confidence.
Reach the information you need quickly with Sort and Filter.
Use conditional formatting to surface values that need attention.
Create a chart or simple summary that helps explain and present the data.
Ask for an explanation or simple formula suggestion, then test and verify it before use.
Build a clear expense table, calculate totals and averages, and summarise amounts by category with core functions.
Create a simple attendance or leave register, calculate counts and highlight cases that need attention with conditional formatting.
Create an item and quantity list that highlights reorder points without introducing advanced lookup functions.
Summarise sales by branch or month and create one clear chart for understanding and presentation.
Improve headings, review blank cells and inconsistent numbers or dates, and correct simple examples step by step.
Create a simple file showing income, expenses and the difference, with a useful monthly view.
The programme moves from foundations on day one to practical calculations, application and AI-assisted learning on day two, with enough time for practice and repetition.
The programme focuses on the skills a beginner genuinely needs. XLOOKUP, VLOOKUP, mixed references, tools such as Find & Replace, Text to Columns and Remove Duplicates, Power Query, macros and advanced dashboards are therefore not core outcomes. If the group completes the foundations quickly and is ready, the instructor may give a very brief introduction to a PivotTable or one lookup function, without reducing practice and repetition.
We use accessible AI tools alongside Excel — no Microsoft Copilot subscription is required.
Anyone in spreadsheets daily without formal training
Anyone who reads reports and wants to build them
Anyone running the business off one sheet
Anyone wanting a skill that shows on a CV immediately
Anyone preparing recurring reports
Anyone who learned by trial and wants the gaps filled

Yes. We start with the foundations and assume no prior experience with formulas or data analysis. You only need basic computer skills such as opening files and using a keyboard and mouse.
It is first and foremost a beginner Excel programme. AI is used in a focused part of the course to explain formulas, help diagnose errors and suggest simple solutions, while teaching you to verify the results.
If you confidently use PivotTables and lookup functions such as XLOOKUP, this programme is probably below your level. Contact us and we will help you choose a more suitable intermediate or advanced option.
No. We use accessible AI tools alongside Excel, and no Microsoft Copilot subscription is required. You may only need to create a free account with the tool used.
A laptop with Microsoft Excel, preferably a recent version. We provide the practice files and templates. You may optionally bring a small, non-sensitive work example to discuss how the skills could apply.
Yes, fully in Arabic, with English function names and terms used as they appear inside Excel.
The programme does not go deeply into XLOOKUP, VLOOKUP, Power Query, macros or advanced dashboards because it is designed to build a clear beginner foundation. The instructor may briefly point to an additional topic if time allows and the group is ready.
Yes. After completing the training hours, you receive two certificates: an official Ministry of Labour certificate and a Taim Academy certificate.
You can cancel for a full refund up to 7 days before the programme starts. The complete refund policy is sent in your registration confirmation email.
Two practical days that build a foundation you can use every day — with tools that help you continue learning after the programme.
