Build practical fluency in the spreadsheets, cloud documents, scheduling tools and collaboration platforms that South African offices rely on daily.

  • Apply intermediate spreadsheet formulas and functions to organise office data.
  • Create reusable templates for correspondence, reports and scheduling tasks.
  • Configure shared calendars and cloud folders for team collaboration.
  • Automate routine tasks using built in productivity tool features.
