Everything you need for a great day's training
Our online training is designed to re-create the classroom Excel training experience as closely as possible.
It is a live training session using Zoom or Microsoft Teams and the trainer is there throughout.
The training is still hands-on so you need to have the software installed on your own computer.
The trainer will share their screen to demonstrate Excel techniques and there is also the option of being able to share your screen if you are really stuck!
We still keep our Excel classes to a maximum of 8 so that you can ask questions at any time during the day.
The trainers like to see you! They much prefer it if you have a camera on so they can see you as well as you being able to see them.

VBA is a programming language contained within the Microsoft Office suite.

Our training computers use Office 2016 (2019 update).
If you use Office 365 or MS Excel 2016, 2013 or 2010 don’t worry. The look and functionality of Excel has changed very little between recent versions. This means that all of our training is just as relevant for users of these versions.
Our trainers have lived and breathed Excel for many years. If you have any questions relating to other versions that’s no problem they’ll be very happy to answer them for you.
Our London Excel courses use Hewlett Packard computers.
We offer three courses that cover Excel macros.
A macro (short for macroinstruction) is a small program that automatically runs Excel through a pre-recorded set of steps.
They are extremely useful and allow you to completely automate repetitive tasks.
You can quickly and simply record your own macros in MS Excel. Excel will create these macros in VBA. This means that you can then edit your macros if you are confident working with VBA.
