If you are looking for free training for you or your staff, I've found two well known sites that are good places to go to.
You Tube http://www.youtube.com/ has great free training videos on a variety of subjects. The time and quality of the training varies, but there are a lot of videos available to you. Just type in the product name in the search box. I searched for Excel and came up with 26,900 videos. I've used it several times myself for specific problems that I was having with Photoshop. In my experience, the trainers were tech guys in their office cubicles teaching how to do very specific functions in Photoshop. The videos lasted under 5 minutes.
Microsoft www.microsoft.com offers training on the Office suite of products (Word, Excel, Access, Power Point, Publisher and several others) for the 2003 and 2007 year releases. One of the nice features on the Microsoft site is that you can download a free 60-day version of the product that you are looking for. The Microsoft site doesn't offer videos, but uses graphics to show how to accomplish tasks. Find the free self-paced training here http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/default.aspx.
Microsoft also links to other free tech training through BrainStorm Inc. http://www.brainstorminc.com/cbt/microsoft/index.html, Lynda.com http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/HA103523831033.aspx, and HP Learning Center http://h30187.www3.hp.com/campus.jsp?campusId=10129.
Some of these sites require some software such as Windows Media Player or Quick Time Player so if you have trouble viewing any of them, check the system requirements.
