Nowadays, everyone needs to know how to use the computer. However there are still almost a quarter (24.3%) of adults can’t use the computer (World Economic Forum, 2017). On top of this, only 5% of the population have reached the most proficient level of computer knowledge.
Excel is an essential tool for the workplace, as it is one of the most common tools used across all offices and companies as the standard software for creating data sheets.
Our Excel course is a hands-on, practical, one-day course offered for only £130 per person. It offers the opportunity for learners to build on their existing skills, explore and practice further functions and learn ways of using Excel more efficiently and effectively.

Trainer was engaging, informative and helpful.’ and ‘Course materials were comprehensive and easy to understand. The tutor was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable.’
