SECM – Standardized Excel Certification Model
What is SECM?
The Standardized Excel Certification Model (SECM) is Ninja Excel’s learning program that follows a clear, structured, and work-oriented progression.
-
7 levels – from A0 to C2 – organizing specific Excel skills
-
Each level builds upon the previous one, ensuring concrete learning progression
-
Practical evaluations by unit with automatic feedback
-
Content designed with a pedagogical approach and real-world application
SECM represents a progressive and standardized path, designed to train, assess, and certify Excel skills without ambiguity.

RELEVANT LEARNING
More than just Excel functions: skills that transfer to real work
SECM is designed to ensure learning doesn’t stay theoretical. Through hands-on challenges, learners develop skills they can apply directly to their tasks — like improving spreadsheet structure, automating processes, or making data-driven decisions.

Cognitive Foundations
Meaningful Learning
Unlike a simple content list, our model is built on pedagogical pillars that progressively develop the following competencies across all seven levels:
-
Information Organization:
Encourages structured thinking and data systematization.
-
Effective Visualization:
Trains the ability to communicate clearly using charts and tables.
-
Task Automation:
Enhances operational efficiency by reducing errors and time.
-
Critical Analysis:
Develops analytical thinking for informed decision-making.
-
Contextual Application:
Ensures what’s learned can be directly applied in the learner’s work environment.
SECM doesn’t just teach how to use Excel — it helps you think better with data.
