Excel XP

Introduction

IT can offer great productivity benefits, if people have the right skills to use the packages available to them. Yet 28% of companies in the UK lack employees with the IT skills to meet their business objectives.

This computer based training course will help users unlock the power of Microsoft Excel XP. Excel is a spreadsheet package that provides the tools to access, process, analyse and display numeric and financial information, accurately and professionally.

People taking the Excel course will learn how to use spreadsheets effectively, saving them time and improving their performance.

Who is the course for?

Excel XP is ideal for people with responsibility for managing budgets, creating customer lists, preparing sales data, or maintaining simple business databases. Staff at all levels of seniority - from administrators to team leaders and senior managers - will benefit from this course.

The easy-to-follow, step-by-step format is perfect for people who are completely new to Excel, while the high level of detail will suit those who have a basic understanding but want to learn more about the different features and functions.

There aren’t any formal entry requirements, but basic numerical skills and some familiarity with Microsoft Windows is expected.

To get the most from this course access to Microsoft Excel is advised. For a different version of Excel, we also offer courses in Excel 2000 and Excel 2003. To learn how to use spreadsheets for a variety of tasks in the office or at home, why not consider ECDL 4 - Spreadsheets, which can be used to work towards the ECDL qualification.

• create, modify, print and share spreadsheets

Course features

You can start your excel training course straight away and access it at any time, providing you have access to a computer with an internet connection. The course is available for six months from the date first accessed.

The course will show you how Excel’s features and functions work, and then you can practice them for yourself. You are in control at all times, so you can work through the course at your own pace and focus on the modules you are most interested in, or least familiar with. As you’re working through the course, you can print specific sections out to refer back to later if you wish.

When you’ve finished the course, you can complete an online assessment to put your new skills to the test. The results of this test can be printed out, as a record of how well you’ve done.
