FAQs

How do I know if this is the right level course for my Excel training needs?
The advanced Excel course is suited for anyone who is a strong user of Excel in lots of areas of the package. The course builds further on the intermediate course, taking those topics and covering more complex examples. We would suggest that you have completed our or an Intermediate Excel course somewhere else before attending this one to make sure you get the most out of the day. Otherwise, if you are a strong user of Excel and know and use at least 80% of the content covered in the Intermediate course, then you will be ok to come straight on to it.

There are a variety of topics covered in our advanced Excel course. The topics are structured to build on throughout the day. To break up the whole day course, a mid morning break, lunch break and mid afternoon break are planned in throughout.
