Course Description
About Me
I’m not just an Excel fan—I’ve used it to build analytics departments, automate reports, and lead strategy at the VP level. I hold a Harvard MBA, a degree in Computational Sciences, and spent over a decade managing teams in a global bank. I was also a McKinsey consultant, trained to solve complex problems under pressure. I’ve worked in AI, built chatbots, and automated full workflows—but I still believe Excel is the fastest path to real-world productivity. And nothing unlocks that faster than VBA.
1. Why Learn Microsoft Excel VBA?
Excel is already powerful—but with VBA, it becomes unstoppable. Over 500,000 companies in the U.S. rely on Excel. Most reporting and analysis work doesn’t require complex models—it just needs to be automated.
That’s where VBA comes in. You’ll be able to:
Automate repetitive tasks
Build one-click dashboards and tools
Create dynamic workflows without hiring a developer
Control files, PDFs, emails, PowerPoint—and even simulate keyboard actions
And you’ll be surprised how much of it is easier than you think.
2. Work Smarter, Not Harder
The difference between someone who knows Excel… and someone who automates Excel is career-changing.
While others stay late updating reports, you’ll be building tools that run in seconds. You’ll finally move from manual work to impactful work—and from “Excel user” to “Excel wizard.”
This course will help you free up time, reduce errors, and turn spreadsheets into fully functional apps—without needing to be a programmer.
3. Why This Course?
You don’t need to memorize code. You need to understand it just enough to use it.
That’s what this course does. We break VBA down into practical, real-world steps, so you can:
Read and adapt existing code
Create your own macros from scratch
Build tools and reports that actually help your team
This course is built for real-life workflows, not classroom theory. You’ll build solutions you can actually use at work—like:
Copy/paste automation
Dynamic dashboards
Auto-generated reports
PDF-to-Excel tasks
Customized user forms and interfaces
Whether you're a beginner or looking to sharpen your skills with event-based triggers, error handling, or advanced userforms, this course will give you the confidence to stop asking for help… and start automating like a pro.

Amazing, Rami. I love your teaching style of showing us the big picture while making it so funny and entertaining! I am new to macros and really rely on your videos to teach me. Maybe someday I can be as good at it as you! thank you!!

The course was very easy for me to follow as a beginner.

I found this course to be excellent for what I was looking for. To me this course moves along very quickly using real coding without spending an inordinate amount of time covering theory. Theory is covered when the material requires, but it is practical, appropriate and focused. The supplied Power Point notes are excellent guides for future reference. I like the way the reference notes are a condensed summary of the material. Also included is the instructors completed and working files with full comments if you are lost. There is a section on how to use AI which is mind expanding to me. Also, included was how to search for help on the interwebs for Excel VBA. Overall, an excellent course sprinkled with humor and interesting code. Top drawer material. Thank you.
