Microsoft Word

Whether you use Word for short letters or long complex contracts, there are almost certainly features in the software which can help you to work more quickly and get great-looking results every time. A consistently high standard for documents is very important to a business, and ensures that high quality work is not let down by poor presentation.

Our Word courses take you through the stages of getting formatting right, managing styles and using automation features to create a uniform appearance and collaborating with others to create detailed and accurate output.

Microsoft Excel

Use of spreadsheets ranges from small tables of data through simple calculations right up to highly complex solutions incorporating information from several sources.

Our Excel courses will provide you with the skills you need to make sense of the data you have. You will learn to summarise information, identify and highlight unusal or changed data, and use charts to display results visually.

We offer a "traditional" Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced series of courses, as well as our "Masterclass" programme.

The 12-part Masterclass is soon to be expanded to 16 sessions to add new content, and is intended for larger orgnisations who are looking for a longer term investment in developing the skills of their staff. Individuals will sign up to attend the sessions they choose based on their existing knowledge and the topic areas which they need in order to best carry out their job role. Some might start at level 2 and continue through to level 5, others might cherry pick sessions 6, 8, 10 and 12 if those cover the skills they need to learn.

You will notice that none of our courses start from the most basic principles of opening or creating a new file, typing things in, making some text bold, then printing and saving the file.

Many companies offer courses which spend considerable time on these skills which the majority of computer users already have. By starting at a level just above this, you focus your time on the genuinely useful subjects which help people to become more knowledgeable and efficient in their use of the software.

We also offer a bespoke service to enable you to get the best value out of your training budget, and can provide training on a one-to-one basis where necessary. Please contact us by email or phone 0113 248 7125 to discuss the options available if this would be useful to you.
