“I feel so much more confident when using Excel now, especially with formulae. I have learnt a lot of quicker ways of doing things so this will speed my work up. I have already been able to take on additional responsibilities within my role thanks to what I learned on this course, so thank you!”

“I picked up some very useful tips and shortcuts that will save me time in the future. Claire was very good at explaining why Excel behaves the way it does. This was always an area of frustration for me and so this has been particularly helpful.”

Live Online Training
Live online is ‘on-air’ training where real trainers work with remote delegates. It’s highly interactive – participants work in groups and pairs, view slides and video, use whiteboards, and talk to fellow delegates and the trainer, just like in a real training room. We just use Zoom instead!
Face-to-face
Excellent for relationship-building and very practical sessions, working face-to-face with your staff builds teams and buy-in, especially for those who are tech-nervous. We love getting into the physical training room and whilst it relies on participants being able to travel to and meet in a convenient place, its a great place to be creative and experiential.
