Microsoft Excel Certification Students at the Cotsakos College of Business can satisfy the Technology Tier 1 "Excel Basics" requirement by passing the Microsoft Excel Specialist exam through the College's Global Business & Finance Institute (GBFI). The second exam for Excel Expert Certification can be used toward completion of the Technology Tier 2 "Excel Advanced" activity. Excel training is offered through instructor-led workshops as well as on-demand video tutorials. Students may use either channel although attendance at instructor-led workshops is strongly encourage.
