Course Description

A loan amortization schedule is often perceived as a tool exclusively for bankers and financial traders. However, this course aims to debunk this misconception by introducing the practical applications of amortization schedules in everyday life. We will explore the fundamental concepts of loan amortization and its relevance not just in the banking sector, but for individual financial management as well.

Mastering Financial Formulas in Google Sheets

This course delves deep into the world of key financial formulas within Google Sheets. Participants will learn how to utilize these formulas to examine and manage various types of personal loans, such as student loans, car loans, and mortgages. The focus will be on empowering users with the skills to make informed decisions about their loans and financial health by leveraging the powerful features of Google Sheets.

Creating a Dynamic Loan Dashboard

One of the highlights of this course is the development of a comprehensive dashboard in Google Sheets. This dashboard will incorporate advanced techniques such as visualizations and conditional formulas. Participants will gain hands-on experience in creating presentation-ready spreadsheets that are not only functional but also visually appealing. These skills are designed to impress finance managers and elevate your understanding of financial management to a professional level.
