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.

I worked with John and the team at JPL who created a bespoke training program for us. This was across Excel and PowerPoint to train all our teams up to a standard we needed in the business.

Feedback has been positive and we look forward to rolling out more with John in the coming months.

Chamber of Commerce – Excel training for ISO

JPL IT Training provided Excel training for ISO at the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce. The course was Intermediate Excel and 10 people attended and gave us great feedback on their Linked In profile.
John Legge has been an absolute dream of a trainer and made it so engaging that we didn’t even notice how the evening came!
Safe to say that we now know all about Fn button (and yes, we love it) and Control + Strange Button! Most of us had a very basic knowledge of Excel and we have definitely gained an in-depth knowledge and learned a lot that we haven’t known before!

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.
