Our public Excel courses use Windows computers, not Excel for Mac.
However, this is not an issue if you use Excel for Mac.
Excel for Mac and Windows Excel are identical, with only a couple of very small differences, and so our courses will still be highly relevant for you.
It is helpful for us to know that you are an Excel for Mac user, so please let us know when booking.
