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.

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.

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.

“We would highly recommend JPL IT Training. We have been using JPL IT Training for several years now and would not consider booking with anyone else.
John and Rachel are excellent trainers and the feedback from employees is always great. They have delivered Excel, Word and Access courses at all levels both face to face and remotely.
The sessions are always interactive and informative, and you leave them knowing much more than you did at the start. In group sessions they have the ability to adapt to each learner and ensure everyone gets the level of attention they need which is important as no one gets left behind”

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!
