Textbooks written from real business workflows — not theory. Digital editions come first — readable anywhere, anytime — with classroom delivery on the CFCS learning classroom (powered by Emergent LMS). Print editions are planned behind them, and every book shows you exactly what's inside before you buy.
The newest CFCS textbook leads the shelf as a digital edition, with the Microsoft Excel Essentials Collection right behind it. Buy one book or the whole system.
The systems development life cycle taught the way projects actually live it — as one managed pass from "should we do this at all?" to "did it pay?" Each of the seven phases gets its own chapter carrying its project-management toolkit (charter, WBS, risk register, RACI, test plan, rollout plan, post-implementation review), an agile/hybrid thread, and AI integrated into every chapter — supervised and verified, never pasted blind. A fresh non-IT case drives every chapter, exercises are built on the Microsoft Excel Essentials skills, and a capstone assembles the whole cycle into a board-defended portfolio.
A complete learning system — the textbook teaches it, the workbook makes you practice it, the instructor guide verifies it. Available as digital editions; print editions planned.
A college-level Excel course in one book, built the way professionals actually work: Build → Calculate → Verify → Interpret → Decide. Twelve chapters take you from your first workbook to PivotTables, what-if analysis, and clean imported data — with Excel on a Mac notes and supervised AI help ("AI proposes; Excel verifies") in every chapter. No macros, no VBA — just the Excel that business runs on, taught until you can prove your numbers are right.
The hands-on half of the system — one workbook chapter for every textbook chapter, so practice always matches the lesson. Every quantitative task carries a verification checkpoint: an expected value your work must hit before you move on, so you know immediately whether you're right. Skill Drills isolate one technique at a time; Guided and Independent Projects then make you run the whole play on real workplace scenarios, finishing with the Excel Under Pressure decision challenge.
Everything the student books deliberately leave out — built to make grading fast and defensible. Complete answer keys, the expected value for every quantitative checkpoint, canonical 100-point rubrics, chapter-specific common-error banks, and boundary tests that name the exact wrong answer a typical mistake produces. Open a student file beside this guide and the verification tables tell you in minutes whether the work is right — and if not, where it went wrong. Restricted to verified instructors only.
Written, in the production line, and staged here as each one clears. Join the notify list and you'll hear the day each title opens.
Project management in three color-coded modes inside every chapter: learn it in navy, check it in gold, then sit exam-style situational questions in light red — each with guidance, tips, and the worked reasoning. Undergraduate course text, written end to end.
The first industry title: applied Excel, data analysis, visualization, and AI skills built on real insurance-operations scenarios — books, renewals, and reporting the way an agency actually runs them.
Instructor-led and self-paced training that pairs with the books — delivered onsite, virtual, or hybrid, and tailored to your team's real workflows. Classroom delivery of the textbooks runs on the CFCS learning classroom (powered by Emergent LMS): enrolled students get the book, the files, and the course in one place.
