Comprehensive Excel Curriculum Development

I’m putting together a complete “training-of-trainers” package that lets any competent facilitator with basic knowledge of Excel, run a 15-20-hour Excel program for working professionals, then extend it with 4-5 hours of advanced material. Your job is to design the curriculum, create the session assets, and supply realistic, hands-on exercises that fill a three to four-hour classroom block for 4-6 days.

Foundation module
The opening section must ground learners in Basic Excel formulas and functions, Data entry and formatting, and an Introduction to charts and graphs—essentially everything in Excel that a working professional will need before moving forward.

Intermediate module
Next, I want strong coverage of Advanced formulas and functions, Data analysis and pivot tables, Conditional formatting, VLOOKUP, and a practical look at How to use AI for Excel so participants can start automating everyday analysis.

Advanced add-on
To round things out, include Macros and VBA programming, Advanced data visualization techniques, and both Power Query and Power Pivot. This capstone segment should run 4-5 hours and assume the learner already finished the intermediate track. This is an optional segment and will depend on the response after the previous two segments.

Requested deliverables
• A time-stamped syllabus for each level showing learning objectives, activities, and trainer notes.
• Slide decks (PowerPoint or Google Slides) that mirror the syllabus flow.
• Trainer guide with facilitation tips, talking points, and common troubleshooting notes.
• Data sets, worksheets, and practical problem sets complete with step-by-step answer keys.
• Suggested assessment rubrics and short quizzes for each module to check and assess learners' progress
• A concise reference sheet listing every formula, shortcut, or AI prompt introduced.

Acceptance criteria
1. Content hours match the brief (15-20 core + 4-5 advanced).
2. Every topic named above appears clearly in the syllabus and supporting materials.
3. Hands-on exercises are context-rich, ready to hand out, and solvable within the allotted three hours.
4. All resources arrive in editable formats (XLSX, PPTX/Google Slides, DOCX/Google Docs).
5. Writing is clear, professional, and free of errors.

If you have past examples of curriculum work—especially Excel or data-analysis training—let me see them so I can gauge fit. I’m looking to kick this off quickly and will review drafts module by module for rapid feedback.
