Course Overview

With so much communication to contend with today, it can be difficult to grab people’s attention. So, to grab and maintain an audience’s focus we need to be clear, organised, and engaging. And, that is exactly what Microsoft Office PowerPoint can help you do by creating engaging, dynamic multimedia presentations.

With the amount of available data growing on a daily basis, the ability to make sense of all of that data is becoming very challenging. Fortunately, this is where Microsoft Office Excel can help. Excel can help you organise, calculate, analyse, and present your data in simple way and in less time, than if using pen-and-paper methods or non-specialised software. This course aims to provide you with a foundation for Excel knowledge and skills.

This course is suitable for anybody wanting to learn any version between 2007 and latest 2021. Our courses cover all differences between the versions.
