What is the cheapest way to learn Xero and Microsoft Excel

Learning how to use Xero for specific tasks is easy. There are dozens of videos that you can watch for free on YouTube and they are good for “JIT Learning” – Just In Time Learning. If you want to get a thorough and detailed training about how to perform bookkeeping using Xero you need to learn how to perform all the bookkeeping tasks.

Most people like to watch training videos about how to use Xero or Excel and then try to replicated it.

But once you’ve watched 3-4 videos you get the feeling that you should be using the software. You’ll also start to realise the benefit of a course that contains all the sample data and exercises to help you learn bookkeeping.

Xero Course Case Studies

EzyLearn Xero courses take you on a learning journey based around case studies for several different types of business where YOU are the bookkeeper.

You perform the tasks that a bookkeeper performs for that business and we have case studies for the following business types:

  • Hair dressing salon
  • Cafe
  • Business Telephone System installer
  • Electrician
  • Real Estate and Sales Agent

But rather than learn bookkeeping skills using Xero in a haphazard way our learning journeys teach you the skills for basic bookkeeping (get the free sample) and we then add on more advanced tasks as you need them.

You’ll see how our courses progress in the individual Xero Courses.

See some of our Xero course case studies.

Case studies provide a learning journey to help you understand not only how to use Xero but why certain tasks are done.

Our Complete Xero Course includes all learning resources and support but not everyone can afford them (even though they are competitively priced for what you get).

The other Xero Course training supports include:

  • Instructional videos
  • Knowledge Reviews
  • Training workbooks
  • Student support
  • Certificate of Completion

Xero Course Training Manuals

If you don’t want or need all the resources and can work through the training workbooks using self-study then the training manuals will give you everything you need, including the tasks you need to perform and the sample date you need to work with.

If you want to learn Xero and Excel and don’t have a lot of spare money then purchase our training manuals.

The Xero Course for daily transactions and beginners to advanced Excel course workbooks are available for sale separately.

Microsoft Excel Course Exercise Files

Microsoft Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint are Office Productivity programs that create different types of files. The key to mastering these Office Admin programs is to confidently use the software features to create as well as modify and enhance these files.

To help you learn Microsoft Office we have all of the same training resources as the Xero course as well as over 100 exercise files for you to use.

These exercise files help you practice but can also be used for your own purposes.

This is particularly important when you get into the Intermediate Excel training where you learn skills like formatting and formulas.
