Want Your Excel Skills to Stick? Start with 10–15 Minute Practice.
The Excel Skill Builder gives you quick, realistic exercises that help you strengthen the Excel skills you’ve already learned - or explore new topics based on what you want to practise.
Most people leave an Excel course feeling confident… but without regular practice, the skills fade. Short, focused repetition is what makes learning stick. This tool gives you clear, step-by-step scenarios you can try right away to build fluency, accuracy and confidence.
Choose the skills you want to work on - formulas, tables, PivotTables, dashboards, charts, Power Query, macros, analysis - and select your level (“getting started”, “comfortable”, “advanced”). The Skill Builder then pulls a handful of 10–15 minute exercises matched to your goals, along with suggested next steps on the Underscore Excel Learning Pathway.
It’s also ideal for managers and L&D teams who want staff to practise between courses, maintain capability and get more value from Excel training.
