The Excel for Business courses are being offered from Beginner level for those with low comfort in Excel, through Intermediate and Advanced levels. The Academy also caters to the training needs of corporates, offering customized on-site training for their employees.

Mr. Owusu-Kyerematen assured the public that the courses will be delivered by highly qualified instructors of the Love to Excel Academy and will draw on proprietary cases based on our African context.
