Post-course support
Most self-taught people find Excel slow and frustrating to work with. Not having an overall understanding of Excel’s underlying logic means that their spreadsheets are prone to errors and require frequent reworking and manual work arounds.
Our introduction course focuses on the foundations. Understanding basic Excel best-practice and its underlying logic means that it ‘makes sense’, making errors easy to avoid and simple to fix if you come across one.
Probably our intermediate course.
It is designed for existing Excel users who are spending lots of time carrying out tasks like data cleaning and cell formatting manually, and frustrated that their Excel skills make using it so slow.
It teaches you how to become a much faster Excel user by automating tasks using straight forward formulas and tools.
We are advocates for AI use and believe that it is an incredibly powerful tool when working with Excel. However, making the most of AI when working with Excel makes advanced skills more necessary, not less, as AI still has some way to go.
AI’s solutions are often convoluted and it’s not uncommon for them to be wrong for more complex tasks.
An advanced understanding of Excel means that you can be confident that AI’s answers are correct. By quickly auditing and deconstructing its solutions you will know that your formulas are doing exactly what you want them to.
We focus on small classes to avoid this specific problem. Our classes average 4 people.
Small classes ensure our trainers have plenty of time to answer your questions in real-time rather than having to ask you to wait for a break by which time you will have fallen behind.
The “Monday morning problem” is why we give you the exercises that you use during the course. In conjunction with the course manual, they allow you to go through what you were taught during the training afterwards, if you can’t quite remember it.
Additionally, we offer 6 months of post-course support. Send us an email, ideally with screenshots, explaining where you are stuck and your trainer will come back as soon as possible to help you out.
Updating and rebuilding legacy spreadsheets created by previous colleagues can be a significant problem. Over time complicated, inflexible “black box spreadsheets” become increasingly prone to breaking because no-one fully understands them and need to be recreated.
Our advanced course covers useful techniques for this situation like different data validation techniques, ways to link data dynamically and naming cells and ranges to make formulas easier to understand.
In short yes even before allowing for the fact that using Excel will become a less stressful, annoying experience.
In most offices Excel is everywhere so you will be using it multiple times a day. Even a small saving of time each time you open Excel will very quickly ‘repay’ the time spent training even before allowing for the larger chunks of time that are saved by automating repetitive tasks and fixing errors.
All our Excel courses are taught using standard Microsoft 365 business licences.
If you use Microsoft 365 you will be on the same version of Excel as the trainer automatically.
Please give us a call if you are unsure which course is right for you.
Alternatively, we have a tool that will make a recommendation in about 30 seconds which can be found here: Excel course tool
We teach defensive implementation of Excel which is designed for this.
Mastering Excel’s advanced tools lets you to create spreadsheets that are simpler for end-users to use. Over time fixing problems using structured references, protected cells and similar techniques will reduce your workload because the volume of requests for help will reduce.
Very probably.
We are very conscious of being fair to everyone that attends one of our courses and focus on covering the standard material.
However, where possible, we will spend more time on specific areas that delegates would like to cover.
To allow for this we ask everyone attending one of our courses to complete a very quick ‘pre-course questionnaire’. It means that we understand more about who you are and what you are looking for from your course.
We will send you an invoice after receiving your booking, so please book a course as normal.

Software on Macs is usually laid out a little differently, has different shortcuts and occasionally has slightly different functionality.
99% of what our courses cover is applicable to Macs but to avoid confusion, we do not use Macs in our training centres and they are not suitable for attending our online training.
As of January 2026, Microsoft has not produced a Mac version of Power BI desktop. Mac users can use the web-version of Power BI or use parallels to install a Windows environment on a Mac computer.
We run a full schedule of interactive online courses over Zoom.
We also deliver private courses over Teams, if requested.
It is helpful for us to know if there anything that you would like to focus on before your Excel course.
It means your trainer will know they should spend more time in that area if possible.
