Overview

Understanding how to create Macros in Excel provides students with a valuable skill that can dramatically increase efficiency and productivity. Excel macros allow for automation of repetitive tasks, which can save time, reduce errors, and enhance the consistency of their work.

This knowledge can significantly improve their data management and analytical capabilities, giving them a solid foundation for various careers where data processing, analysis, and visualization are important.

Additionally, mastering Excel macros fosters a deeper understanding of programming logic, which could spark further interest in exploring other programming languages and computational thinking. This skill is particularly relevant in today's data-driven world and is highly valued across multiple fields.

In this deep dive into understanding how to create and use macros, delegates are introduced to Excel macros and then develop a deeper understanding of advanced and custom macros including an introduction to VB coding for macros.

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.
