Course delivery

We take an open friendly and enthusiastic approach to learning with spreadsheets. We believe that people learn more effectively when they are enjoying themselves. We make excel interesting for you.

We love questions and welcome as many as possible. We encourage an open atmosphere which in our experience accelerates the learning process.

We always use lots of exercises and real life examples in our training as we believe this really helps our clients to understand concepts. We find that people only really learn when they test their understanding through practice.

Who is this course for?

Our typical delegates are professionals working in finance who use excel on a daily basis. Most people pick up excel in passing, have learnt on the on the job & now require training. Many have picked up poor habits because they have never been taught how to use excel efficiently and maximise its potential.

Requirements

A basic level of excel and IT literacy is assumed.

Most delegates will already have some exposure to excel or use spreadsheets on a regular basis.

Delegates should bring their own laptop with excel. Laptops can be provided, if required, for an additional fee if required.

We suggest a maximum of 10 delegates per course to ensure enough individual attention is given to each person.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
