Seems decent enough to me. If I can park a non-tech staffer on an Excel course for an hour instead of having to hold his/hers hand and explain how a spreadsheet works I call that a win.

I hadn't thought of Excel, good point. But I'm not sure which of these Office classes it is hidden in?

I'm also always looking for HTML/CSS/JavaScript classes that might reach non-Programmers. I might sit someone down in front of: http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/training-courses/html...

... and see what happens.

I was thinking the JavaScript for absolute beginners also looked like a good one for getting non-programmers into.

I don't think that JS is necessarily the best learning language, but it's definitely about as wide spread as it gets (being out of the box for every modern OS that comes with a browser).
