ABOUT THIS COURSE
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program that is used incredibly widely. Having a good understanding of how Excel works is a key skill for any office worker today. Spreadsheets let you store and organise data in a grid of rows and columns. It lets you control and process your data by using formulas and functions. In it’s most simple applications, it can be used to summarise data showing totals, averages and also to very quickly produce graphs and charts. However, it is an extremely powerful and flexible tool and is used in a very wide variety of far more complicated applications. It is used for applications as different as producing full financial models for businesses or groups of businesses and statistically analysing scientific data.
Greaterheight Academy’s Microsoft Excel training courses can take you from being a complete beginner, who has never used Microsoft Excel, all the way through to an advanced user who will then be able to make full use of the program’s capabilities. If you wish, you can then go on to learn to program in VBA (visual basic for applications) which will enable you to further automate tasks by building your own macros.
Led by highly experienced Excel trainers with many years of experience our hands-on courses mean that you will leave with practical experience as well as useful tips and tricks.
We run scheduled Excel training courses in Lagos-Nigeria and Milton Keynes-London at a number of levels. We usually train on version 2013 which is almost identical to 2010 and 2016, but we make a note of what version you use so that the trainer knows to make you aware if there are any differences.

WHAT YOU WLL LEARN
These courses are focused on ensuring that we make you a faster and more relaxed Excel user. Given how widely Excel is used in business today we believe that being a comfortable and capable Excel user is a key career skill for everyone.
Whether you are a beginner tackling Excel for the first time, or an advanced user learning how to automate repetitive tasks using VBA, our courses are deliberately very hands-on. We believe that skills are developed through guided practice which reinforces learning and shows you how to apply what they are learning practically. Our exercises are carefully chosen to emphasise the key aspects of each lesson.
Excel’s key strength is that is it so flexible and configurable. However, this presents a challenge to the inexperienced user as this means that it offers large numbers of options, often within nested menus. It is not unusual for a user to know that something is possible within Excel but not be able to find the relevant menu. By encouraging delegates to working independently on Excel we allow them to become familiar with how menus are structured and where different options are accessed.
