Lucinda - Microsoft Excel Trainer
Lucinda is one of our regular Microsoft Excel trainers, with over 20 years of experience teaching Microsoft Office applications including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
Her favourite part of the job is working with beginners, helping people who find Excel daunting realise it can actually make their work much easier.
Outside of training, she is a certified life coach and works one day a week as a primary school teaching assistant, which is why delegates consistently find her explanations clear and her patience limitless.
Not sure which course is right for you? Our Excel course level adviser takes less than 60 seconds, or give us a call – we’re happy to help.
Introduction – No experience needed. This course starts from scratch and covres navigating Excel, entering data, basic formulas and formatting.
Intermediate – You’ll need a basic working knowledge of Excel: AutoFill, AutoSum, simple formulas, absolute cell references and basic formatting.
Advanced – You should be a confident everyday Excel user, comfortable with formulas, functions, absolute cell references and sorting and filtering.
Excel with Copilot – No Copilot or AI experience needed, but you’ll need Intermediate-level Excel knowledge as a starting point.
VBA – Advanced Excel knowledge is required, but no VBA or macro experience at all. You’ll be writing your own code from day one.
Power Tools – No prior experience with Power Tools needed. You should be comfortable with IF and Lookup functions, Defined Names, importing data and basic PivotTables.
Our in-person courses in London and online courses have both been carefully designed, with special attention to each format.
Whichever is more convenient and effective for you, is usually the right choice.
We tend to advise if people are really unsure to attend the London courses, as it gives just a little bit more interaction with our expert trainers.
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 workarounds.
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.
We think so! For people that already use Excel, but have these issues – we usually recommend 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.
Both our London and Online classes are kept small to avoid this exact 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.
Our London Excel courses are held in Holborn, in the heart of central London. Our training centre is at 44 Southampton Buildings, Holborn, WC2A 1AP. Just a 30-second walk from Chancery Lane tube station.
It’s a practical location for delegates travelling from across the city. Bank is 2 stops away on the Central line. Canary Wharf is around 25 minutes via the Jubilee line to London Bridge. From the West End, Mayfair, and Paddington, Holborn station is on the Piccadilly line and only a few stops away. King’s Cross and Euston are both under 20 minutes door to door.
We also offer onsite Excel training at your London offices if you’d prefer us to come to you.
We teach defensive implementation of Excel which is designed for this.
Mastering Excel’s advanced tools lets you 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.
Yes. We frequently run courses at our clients’ offices.
