Calc Crash Course (2025)
Get up and going with using LibreOffice Calc with this online course!
Why Learn Calc?
I'm creating a course for people wanting to learn LibreOffice Calc, a versatile spreadsheet program. It has more features than Google Sheets, "Excel for the Web", and Apple Numbers, plus it works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
What's in the Course?
Regardless if you're fairly new to spreadsheets, or have used other apps such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, this course will help you get going with using LibreOffice Calc.
I'll be providing on demand video lessons and including plenty of tips and advice from my years of using Calc. The topics covered will be based on the official Getting Started Guide by LibreOffice.
As a bonus, if you join during the beta period of the course (now until July 2025), then you'll get to provide feedback as I make the lessons, and also request video topics not covered in the Getting Started Guide!
