Foundation Excel

Microsoft Excel remains one of the most widely used tools in business, yet formal training in its use is often overlooked. This course is designed for those with little or no prior experience of Excel, and assumes no existing knowledge.

Delegates will develop a solid, practical grounding in the essentials:

• Navigating and structuring a workbook, including worksheets, cells, rows and columns
• Entering and editing data accurately and efficiently
• Applying and maintaining consistent formatting
• Constructing simple formulas using basic operators
• Introducing core functions, including SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT and IF
• Sorting and filtering data
• Preparing a worksheet for printing and sharing
• Good habits for file management and avoiding common errors

The day is delivered on a hands-on basis, with delegates working through realistic exercises rather than passive demonstration. By the end of the course, delegates will be able to build and rely on a spreadsheet of their own, rather than simply manage those produced by others.
