Excel
Excel is where the judgment-heavy work still happens: the forecasting, valuation and scenario work that needs a person reasoning through assumptions rather than a system refreshing a number. This track goes well past the basics and into how a model is actually built — structured so someone else can open it, follow the logic, and trust the output.
Who it's for
Suits you if you care more about the reasoning inside a model than the plumbing underneath it, and want the skill finance modelling interviews still test on. Start from formulas; no prior modelling experience assumed.
What you'll cover
Formulas and functions
Lookups, logic, and the handful of functions that carry most real analysis.
Pivot tables
Summarising large sheets quickly and answering a question without rebuilding the workbook.
Financial modelling
Three-statement models, valuation, and structuring a workbook others can follow.
Scenarios and sensitivity
Data tables, goal seek, and stress-testing the assumptions a model actually turns on.
What you're working toward
Build a model from a blank sheet and be able to defend every assumption in it.

You pick a path once you're in — nothing here is binding, and plenty of members end up touching both.
