Course Overview
This is a one-day training course tailored to teach absolute beginners the basics of Microsoft Excel. Lead by dedicated instructors who know the Microsoft Office package like the back of their hands, you’ll gain a valuable understanding of the fundamentals of Excel and leave with the confidence to create formatted spreadsheets using basic formulas and shortcuts. We’ll familiarise you with the Excel platform so you can comfortably navigate your way around to enter data, perform calculations, manage information and format worksheets to develop well-designed, print-ready spreadsheets.
Raising the Bar training courses are delivered face-to-face by certified experts using clear, easy to follow instructions. We keep our class sizes small so that all students achieve the best possible learning outcomes and supply all equipment so there’s no need to bring anything. You’ll learn through clear demonstrations and hands-on activities and leave with the skills needed to use Excel in personal and professional settings.
Upon completion of the Excel Beginner course, you’ll receive a certificate of completion, a comprehensive course manual to work through at your leisure and the proficiency required to proceed to one of our more advanced Excel courses.
