A Buyers Guide To Excel Courses In London

Avoid This Mistake! Pro Tip

From speaking with our delegates, we know that lots of people think they will be an Excel expert after their courses. In reality, the key to long-term success is practicing consistently and consolidating your knowledge in the weeks that follow.

At Acuity Training, we offer post-course support for 6 months, so if you get stuck or need help applying what you’ve learned, our Excel pros are just an email away.

Is Acuity Training Right For You? 

At Acuity Training we usually receive very high ratings from our clients, but we use all feedback (positive and negative!) to keep working on our booking process, courses and customer experience. We pay close attention to concerns customers have, and areas where we can improve.

Rather than treating this feedback as one-off complaints, we use it to refine our business.

Booking and Course Logistics

Some feedback has highlighted the importance of clarity, especially around course format and joining details – specifically for the live-online sessions. As a result, we have focused on:

• Making our confirmation emails as clear as possible
• Improving internal checks to reduce last-minute confusion
• Ensuring 100% consistency with a bullet proof timing schedule

These adjustments were made with our delegates in mind, and implemented them specifically to help reduce any friction in the booking process. Our job is to make sure learners have as smooth a process as possible from the second they arrive on our site, to the day of their course.

Refining Course Pacing and Learning Experience

Our courses are designed to be concise and intensive, which many learners value – especially in a market as fast-moving as London’s! For some however, that can feel a little intense – especially for those looking for a slower paced experience. In response, we’ve:

• Made our course outlines as clear as possible.
• Briefed our trainers on discussing the format of their course in every session, and adjusting it based on the people each day.
• Continued to keep class sizes small, so everyone feels as though they have a say in how their course is run.

Now every one of our learners understands what is covered, how we plan on covering it, and what they can say to their trainer to make sure they get a bespoke experience.

Clarifying Our Brand and Offering

Some feedback has shown confusion around the Acuity name, as there are a few other organisations that use it.

We are Acuity Training – the UK’s top Excel training provider, and not in any way affiliated with Acuity Scheduling (the booking software) or Acuity Law (the law firm). To make sure people know who they are booking with and what to expect, we have:

• Made our branding clearer across our website, emails and mentions all over the web.
• Tightened up how we introduce ourselves in confirmations and joining instructions.
• Ensured our contact details and course descriptions clearly explain who we are and what we do.

Now learners can be confident they know exactly who they’re booking with and what to expect.

Pricing and Fit

Price matters, and everyone compares courses differently. We don’t aim to be the cheapest provider out there, but focus on making sure every penny people spend with us is worth it. Our team works hard every day to build up our courses around quality, and support. We have people available every day so you can get in touch, ask any questions, and get honest advice before booking.

Our courses are built on years of studying how people learn best, and our specialty lies in small instructor-led training that gives people the chance to ask questions as and when they come up. This approach is the best way to get value out of a course, but we understand some people learn better through self-paced learning and other methods.

If that sounds like what you’re looking for or if you have any questions, just get in touch and we will do everything we can to make sure you get the most out of your time with us.

How We Ranked These Excel Courses

We didn’t just look at price tags, we used a structured approach to make this ranking genuinely useful:

1. Initial Screening – We started by mapping over a dozen Excel course providers across London, ranging from budget classes to corporate-style training.

2. Course Content Review – We compared beginner, intermediate, and advanced pathways to see which providers cater to progression rather than just a one-off workshop.

3. Certification & Recognition – We prioritised providers offering formal certification, CPD credits, or recognised completion certificates.

4. Independent Reviews – Google, Trustpilot, and direct client feedback were factored in to reflect the real student experience.

5. Practical Extras – Support after the course, homework, or flexible scheduling scored additional points, since these make learning “stick.”
