Preparing for IB SA position next Summer - excel/ppt course?

A little while ago I accepted an offer to work as a IB Summer Analyst in 2023. I figured I have a lot of free time between now and then and wanted to get ahead on preparation. Any suggestions on online courses I can take in PPT, Excel, or anything else in the meantime?

To anyone who ends up on here, I completed my SA role and got a full time offer. The best prep I think you can do is not technical. In my experience, everyone was lenient with mistakes as long as you don't make them repeatedly. You're not expected to be and excel/ppt wizard as a Summer Analyst, you're expected to show up with a good attitude, smile, and willingness to work and whatever, whenever, no matter how long it takes. I suppose it can't hurt to keep your excel and ppt skills fresh but even then you bank will likely have plug-ins and macros that you can't even practice with.

Best of luck!
