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.

 

How is the Advanced Excel training course structured?
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.

 

How can Microsoft Excel training benefit my business?
Excel is probably the most widely used of all the Microsoft packages and training in it will help strengthen members of staff knowledge greatly. It can develop existing data analysis skills further, strengthen their ability to communicate effectively and increase your team’s productivity, helping your business stand out in any industry.

 

Does the training cover the latest Microsoft Office 365 updates?
Definitely. All the content of our Excel training courses transfers across and is compatible with any future Microsoft 365 updates. As well as this, all of our Excel 365 training courses have regular reviews to ensure any new tools and features are included.

United Christian Broadcasters – delivering training courses to staff

The Training that we have received from John and Rachel over the years has been excellent. Everyone who has attended a session is full of praise for their training.
John is very patient as a trainer and each person feels listened to and helped with the Microsoft packages they are using. We look forward to the times that John comes to site to deliver training, helping members of staff move up through the different levels of the courses.
It’s wonderful to hear about how staff will apply the learning to their roles. I highly recommend JPL IT Training Limited as a training provider.

Snow Business testimonial – working alongside staff in Excel

The session was very well structured with a good combination of theory and practical work. It was very useful to do individual examples of each task and the course notes are thorough without being confusing. John was a great teacher and catered for all knowledge levels. The pace of the day was great, at no point did we feel John was moving on too quickly but the sessions didn’t ‘drag’.

Move With Us testimonial – helping train staff in Excel

I had a workshop session with John on a survey report that was taking a considerable amount of time to complete. John explained to us that if we changed how we were initially setting out the data that the production of reports and pivot tables would be much quicker.

The Excel training we had over the course of the next two days was fantastic. John managed to keep us all focussed, he is a very engaging trainer. We were all eager to get back to our desks and start implementing what we’d learnt to make our report running much more efficient.

John delivered the session in a relaxed manner. He ensured that all abilities were catered for and that people were learning at their own pace.
For the employees that needed a little more time, they did not feel pressured to move on and for the employees that were a little more advanced, John demonstrated some great tips and tricks!!
The day sessions were interesting, enjoyable and well planned. We can totally recommend this course and have booked for future intermediate training and an advanced bespoke course.
