WHO IS EXCEL ACADEMY?

The story behind Excel Academy
Hi there, Dan here.

Thanks for stopping by.

Back in 2009 as an actuarial graduate, I found myself in a new and exciting specialist life insurer. Exciting times... but stressful times too. My role was 100% Excel based - and I was CLUELESS!

Excel Zero → Excel Hero:

After a few rough months I began to appreciate the real-life applications, capabilities and risks of using Excel as a business tool. I began to feel like an EXCEL HERO.

When I qualified as an Actuary in September 2013, I resigned from my job and founded Excel Academy - to help other people get to Excel Hero status too!

MISSION:
At Excel Academy we inspire global productivity and success through our fun and experiential Excel Workshops. 

We are proud to have trained approx. 4000 people over the last 3 years at some of South Africa's and the UK's top institutions.

We are now the exclusive preferred provider for Discovery, Investec, and 11 partner universities through SAICA's Thuthuka Bursary Fund.
