Description

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.

Spreadsheets are fantastic business tools and we hardly utilise their potential. This course aims to give ‘get you up to speed’ and give you an insight into Excel’s true potential.

Our course demonstrates best practice spreadsheet techniques, to avoid the expensive mistakes are made by many organisations.

We focus specifically on the tools required by finance professionals, in particular accountants.
