Excel is definitely a really useful package, we could even say that it appears to be the most popular one to use out of the Microsoft Office packages (except maybe Outlook, as it is sometimes used as a mailing package for a business).

Excel courses continue to be the bedrock of our core business. We have developed a whole range of courses to enable staff to progress through the levels of Excel starting with Basic and going all the way up!

Here’s a summary of what’s in each Excel course:

Customer Comments

Here are some comments off staff who’ve been on our excel courses (there are lots more on our website that you can view here):

“Best part of the course: Use of F11 button. John was helpful and made everything easy to understand”.

“John as a trainer has been patient, thorough and extremely knowledgeable! Best part of the course: the speed was suitable for all levels of people in the group”.

“Very accommodating and well explained. Very patient and coherent. Best part of the course: formulas and linking workbooks”.

Hints and Tips

We also provide a blog of hints and tips which we update 1-2 times on average a month. There are a lot of Excel hints and tips on the website alongside hints and tips about the other Microsoft Office packages. Take a look here at the website to take a look.

We can also bespoke i.e. build a course specially for you from existing course material – just ask us! We can also deliver courses using your own data as well as ours. If you wish to ask about bespoke courses or any of or other courses, please email johnlegge@jplcomputer.co.uk.

We wish you every success this year and look forward to hearing from you soon!

Happy New Year! –

From everyone here at JPL IT Training Limited, we hope that you had a prosperous 2016 and were able to rest a bit over the Christmas break. We wish you all a happy and prosperous year for 2017.

This year we have a few ideas of courses that we are thinking of running and would love to hear your thoughts on them!

Firstly, we are thinking of running a 2-day PowerPoint course. This course would cover Basic principles on the first day, finishing with some Intermediate exercises and topics. Then the second day would carry off where the first left with more Intermediate topics and finishing with more Advanced topics and ways to really wow people in your presentations at work!

Secondly, we have a 2nd Master Class Excel course in the pipeline and so alongside our current Master Class course, we are thinking of running a 2-day Master Class Excel course which will appeal to those of you that have attended our Advanced Excel courses and have gone away wanting to learn more about Excel and about the next level of training that is on offer.

All of these courses are still available for you to individually attend too, but we were wanting to hear of any thoughts that you might have on them being 2-day courses? Would you find it beneficial as a 2-day course? Would you prefer it as a 2-day or would you prefer them as individual courses and attend them at different times of the year?

Any feedback would be most appreciated! You can leave your feedback on these two ideas by contacting us on 07903 840105 or by sending us an email on johnlegge@jplcomputer.co.uk.

If you want to ask about any of these courses, you can have a look on our website here or alternatively you can email us on johnlegge@jplcomputer.co.uk.

“Best part of the course: calculations and finding at what certain unused buttons on the computer are”.

“Best part of the course: lunch – just joking! explanation not feeling silly”.

Intermediate Excel is often a really popular course that we run her eat JPL! At one time it used to be that everyone couldn’t get enough of Basic Excel, but we are finding more and more now that Intermediate Excel tends to be the course that people want to come on. This could be down to the fact that nowadays everyone has a bit more of a basic knowledge of Excel and they pick up a bit more in their job roles and so would not find the basic course as useful as it had been for others!

A comment from an attendee on a Bespoke Intermediate Excel 2013 Training course run on their premises:

“The Intermediate Excel training was excellent. I learnt so many shortcuts, which I wished I had known ages ago. I can now produce more meaningful reports from data, with so much ease – no more long hours spent scratching my head! John delivered the training in a clear and light hearted manner, whilst making sure everyone understood what they were learning”.

– Helen Walthew, Farmers Herefordshire Hub

JPL IT Training Limited have been providing Microsoft Office training for over 20 years and in that time have carried out a wide range of courses. Courses are an important way to learn new skills but to also build on the knowledge that you already know. We have a variety of set courses with agendas that we have put together, but more recently it has become more popular for companies to come to us wanting bespoke training for their staff.

Bespoke training courses allows the course notes to be tailored around the existing knowledge of the staff that would be attending. The bespoke courses that we have personally carried out for companies vary a great deal as they allow for that personalisation to their need. We can adapt the training to include a client’s own data files as well as tailor our existing content across courses to suit them.

Some examples of bespoke training courses that we have carried out are:

Overall, any of our standard courses can be tailored to suit any of the requirements that you might have. No matter what constraints you might have, we will endeavour to tailor the course to what you require.

An example of a recent course that we ran was a bespoke Excel Pivot Table and Chart half day course for a company in Warwickshire. Click here to view the agenda for the course.

We specialise in Microsoft Excel training, PowerPoint, Access, Word, Project, Visio, Outlook and Publisher training in Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Leicestershire and Warwickshire.

To speak to us further or to enquire about Bespoke Training for your company or for you as an individual, please see our contact page for ways to get in touch with us or fill in a contact form with details of what you enquire for the training.

When you first see Microsoft Office 2013 or indeed Office 365 (the on line version) you may think there is not much difference to Office 2010. Certainly the existing features are kept, the tabs and ribbons remain the same but new features are added particularly in Excel.

One new really good feature in Excel 2013 is called Quick Analysis. This button appears in the bottom right hand corner when you select a set of data and it allows you to easily do any of the following actions:

• Conditionally format the data that you have just selected
• Create a chart and easily add Chart elements, Styles and Filter your dataset
• Add Sparklines to your data in the spreadsheet
• Create Totals for the specific data that you have selected

Even though there are a lot of good new features in Excel, there are lots of new features within the other Microsoft Office packages.

One example is the Presenter view in PowerPoint. This view allows the presenter to see on part of their screen the slide that is up on the projector screen that the audience can see and then on the other part this presenter view which shows the next slide that will come up and any notes that have been assigned to the current slide.

Another example is the reading pane option within Word. This view is useful if your find reading word documents tiring as it makes the view more like that of a reading book. As well as this reading pane more, there is also an option to convert a PDF document in to a Word document to make editing it easier.

We now run a half day overview course on Microsoft office 2013 and if you are interested please contact us on johnlegge@jplcomputer.co.uk.
