On-site Microsoft Excel Advanced Courses in the United Kingdom

Our closed courses for Microsoft Excel are delivered as private courses for your learners offering more flexibility than off-the-shelf public courses and topics taught can often be tailored to match your particular learning needs.

Excel is one of the most powerful and useful of the traditional Microsoft Office applications, but also often the one with which people can struggle the most, and that they find the most frustrating to work with. In fact, having team members and colleagues that are confident and proficient with Microsoft's Excel software can not only increase productivity and efficiency in the workplace, it can even be good for morale.

Our mobile trainers understand that helping their students to work more effectively is not just a business-oriented goal, it is also empowering for the individual students themselves. As such, our trainers are not just educators, they also champions of the software who endeavour to promote enthusiastic adoption of Excel among those they teach. Before the start date they will discuss with you the goals and objectives of the training and those skill-sets that your team need the most whether they are starting as novice, intermediate or advanced users.

Our Regional Trainers Come to You

With our on-site courses our regional Microsoft Excel trainers come to your workplace throughout England, bringing the training to you regardless of whether you are in a major city such as London, Manchester, Birmingham or Leeds, or anywhere else. This offers a really cost-effective way to train small groups and entire departments in the comfort of familiar surroundings from the Capital City of London to The Cotswolds, from Hampshire to Northamptonshire, West Midlands to West Yorkshire, Sussex to South Yorkshire, Norfolk to Northumberland, Lancashire to Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire to Gloucestershire, Bristol to Berkshire, Essex to the East Riding and everywhere inbetween.

Live Virtual Classroom Training Advanced Excel Courses for the United Kingdom and Beyond

If you have a group of staff that you would prefer to be tutored remotely rather than having a trainer come out to you these small-group Microsoft Excel courses are also available Online as live virtual, interactive training sessions from the comfort of your own office or workplace. These Online instructor-led courses are taught via MS Teams video conferencing.

Why choose virtual learning? As we are all becoming more used to Online learning and live virtual meetings it has become apparent that the virtual classroom method of delivery has many advantages over traditional face-to-face learning venues.

If you are looking for local training near you, then you can't get any closer to your doorstep than you can with virtual learning.

Our virtual learning Microsoft Excel courses cater for groups of up to ten people and your learners benefit from full and immersive interaction with your trainer just as if they were in the classroom with you, with engaging hands-on training via advanced live video conferencing that is further enhanced by features such as live chat, private chat, and sharing screens and documents.

Our realtime virtual classroom Microsoft Excel courses are charged out at £550.00 plus VAT per day inclusive up to 5 delegates. Further learners can be added up to a maximum of 10 charged out at £50.00 plus VAT per person per day. Courseware will be provided electronically.

You can find out how to set up Microsoft Teams for a live Online virtual course here (Virtual Learning with MS Teams).

Do you Record your Live Virtual Microsoft Excel Advanced Courses?

In our experience recording live Excel courses delivered via Microsoft Teams is not necessarily a good idea. The problems you might encounter include recordings failing due to Microsoft making updates to Teams and also bandwidth issues caused by streaming live courses and recording at the same time. As such, and in order to ensure the best possible learning experience for your students (and without any unnecessary disruptions) our instructors do not record our live virtual Microsoft Excel Advanced courses.

Commercial and Corporate Excel Courses for the Public and Private Sectors

How Many People Should Attend Our Private Microsoft Excel Advanced Courses?

Whilst the number of people who attend our private Microsoft Excel courses is essentially up to you and dependant upon the number of learners you have who need to receive the training (up to our ten delegate per course maximum), we encourage all of our clients to keep your class sizes small where possible. This provides a more personable and effective learning experience for you and allows the trainer to give more individual attention to each and every student.

What is the Teaching Method for Our Microsoft Excel Advanced Courses?

The teaching method for our private Excel courses is Instructor-led training (ILT), which means that our courses are engaging, immersive, hands-on and interactive, and thereby facilitate more effective learning and information retention. With this participatory, hands-on learning method your staff will retain information better, whether they are studying Excel in-person or via live virtual classroom. And, whilst we are happy to provide lectures, demonstrations and show-and-tells for larger groups (plus drop-in surgeries for ad hoc technical advice and explanation), the instructor-led training approach is by far the most reliable teaching methodology to bring your Excel know-how to life in a small-class-size setting.

How Long are Our Microsoft Excel Advanced Courses?

Usual teaching hours for this one-day course are 9.30AM to 4.30PM with an hour for lunch and two short breaks morning and afternoon. This timetable is fairly standard across UK training providers and gives six hours of hands-on Excel learning, which is an optimal day's training when it comes to comfortably absorbing knowledge, undertaking practice exercises and retaining information.

If you need an earlier or later start time for your course please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Courses are delivered week days, Monday to Friday during normal business hours.

How Long Does it Take to Learn Excel?

To get from a beginners through to an advanced level usually takes three to four days of formal training. However, in order to become proficient you will need to put into practice what you learn, and there is still an awful lot more to learn in Excel if you want to become an expert or a specialist. You can find out more here: How Long Does it Take to Learn Excel?.

What is the Best Excel Course?

The best Excel course is often the one that takes into account your particular learning needs rather than 'one size fits all' off-the-peg courses. That's why your dedicated trainer will speak to you before your course date to confirm which subjects are best-fitted to your group's learning and development objectives.
