CPE, registration, and pricing
Is Excel Solutions Team a CPE sponsor?
Yes. Excel Solutions Team is registered with the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy as a CPE Sponsor. If you are a member of any other organization, you must verify independently whether our classes qualify for credit. The TXSBOA requires all CPE providers to note that registration does not constitute an endorsement by the Board as to the quality of the CPE program.
How many CPE credit hours are available?
Most of our full-day classes are 6.5 CPE credit hours, but that can vary based on the class and its actual hours of instruction. Partial-day and multi-day or bootcamp courses may differ, so confirm the hours for a specific class before registering.
How are CPE certificates provided?
For classes held at our location, CPE certificates are typically delivered in person immediately after the class. For classes held off-site, certificates are typically delivered by mail within 10-14 days after the completion of the seminar. Contact us if you need an extra copy.
Will your courses satisfy another association's continuing-education requirements?
Requirements vary by organization. Participants should verify directly with their professional association or licensing body whether a particular Excel Solutions Team class qualifies for its continuing-education requirements.
How much does training cost?
Pricing depends on the course, delivery format, schedule, and whether the training is public or customized for a team. Review the published class information where available, or contact us for current pricing and a private-training quote.
How do I register or request training?
Browse the course catalog and class calendar, then use the registration or request options for the class. For private training, onsite delivery, consulting, or help choosing a course, contact Excel Solutions Team at (713) 589-2655 or use the website contact form.
Consulting
Does Excel Solutions Team provide consulting as well as training?

What kinds of consulting projects do you handle?
Projects may include Excel and VBA automation, Access and database solutions, Power BI reporting, Power Platform applications and workflows, Microsoft Project and Planner solutions, process automation, and custom web databases or applications.
Can consulting and training be combined?
Yes. Consulting can solve or improve a business process, while training helps employees understand and use the resulting tools. Contact us to discuss whether your need is best met through training, consulting, or a combination of both.
