The answer is no & they should not teach 'microsoft excel' for accounting modules cause it is not relevant.

Hi Yvonne. NP does teach their students Microsoft Excel. The module is called "Decision Support Application". It is for all business students. I took and completed it with a certificate in Excel 2013. Hope this helps.

Hi Yvonne,

All companies will expect you to know how to make use of the Microsoft Office application. It is tough to have them to teach you from scratch.

If you want to learn more about the Microsoft Office application, you should check out the private IT school.

Look for those with govt grants, if you are local.

Which poly though? I was from NYP and we learn access and excel for one of our modules in year 1. If I recall correctly, all those in business school in NYP will learn that as it’s the standard year 1 modules. I believe it’s called “Business Software Applications”.
That’s applicable to NYP ah. Not too sure about the other poly.
