Next Section 508 Briefings - MS Excel

The next set of briefings to be offered will be the DTM Section 508 MS Excel Briefing. While we are in the process of building the curriculum for the MS Excel Section 508 Briefings, we strongly recommend you to take a Basic MS Excel class. Having a basic working knowledge of the MS Excel will help you take full advantage of the DTM Section 508 Briefings to come.

HHS employees can take this course at HHS University
