On-site Microsoft Excel Courses Alfreton

In-house closed courses for Microsoft Excel are available for small-group training at your premises in Alfreton (DE55), and surrounding areas of the Amber Valley and east Derbyshire.

Tell Us About Your Learning Needs 🡪

Excel is one of the most powerful and useful of the traditional Microsoft Office applications, but also often the one with which people can struggle the most, and that they find the most frustrating to work with. In fact, having team members and colleagues that are confident and proficient with Microsoft's Excel software can not only increase productivity and efficiency in the workplace, it can even be good for morale and self-confidence and contribute towards a more positive employee experience.

What are the benefits of on-site instructor-led Excel training? At FourSquare Training our expert trainers understand that helping their students to work more effectively and efficiently with Excel is not just a business-oriented goal, it is also empowering for the individual students themselves. As such, our trainers are not just educators, they also champions of the software who endeavour to promote enthusiastic adoption of Excel among those they teach. Before the start date they will discuss with you the goals and objectives of the training and those skill-sets that your team need the most whether they are starting as novice, intermediate or advanced users.

Our FourSquare expert trainers all have many years of experience training Microsoft Excel subjects in their specialist fields on a daily basis. The qualifications they hold include MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer) and some are even Microsoft Partners in their own right. All of our regional trainers pride themselves on delivering a superior learning experience every time.

Live Virtual Classroom Microsoft Excel Courses

If you have a group of staff that you would prefer to be tutored remotely rather than having a trainer come out to you "in-house" in Alfreton these small-group Microsoft Excel courses are also available Online as live virtual, interactive training sessions from the comfort of your own office or workplace. These Online instructor-led courses are taught via MS Teams video conferencing.

What are the benefits of live virtual Excel learning? As we are all becoming more used to Online learning and live virtual meetings it has become apparent that the virtual classroom method of delivery has many advantages over traditional face-to-face learning venues.

Flexible Excel Courses

What is the best way to improve our Excel skills?

Our Microsoft Excel trainers understand that when it comes to using .xls spreadsheets and managing Excel data, we don't all have exactly the same needs and priorities. That's why on our closed courses your trainer always speaks to you before the course to discuss your learning requirements so that we can make your learning more relevant to you, and to the key professional development needs of your team.

Whilst this might not involve a great deal of slippage on a beginners course (especially since you will want your learners to gain core foundational knowledge), by the time you get to intermediate and advanced levels, there are a wide range of subjects upon which it is possible to focus. So, by concentrating upon your particular needs at these levels we can make our courses, seminars and workshops more relevant to you and more cost-effective.

Plus, where your learners have partial knowledge at a particular level, we can offer blended Excel courses such as beginners to intermediate or intermediate to advanced (e.g. a Level 1/2 Excel class, or a Level 2/3 one).

Taking this tailored approach to your learning can significantly reduce the time needed by putting your needs at the heart of the learning experience thereby giving you positive learning outcomes and great value for money.

Commercial and Corporate Excel Courses for the Public and Private Sectors

How Many People Should Attend Our Private Excel Courses?

Whilst the number of people who attend our private Excel courses is essentially up to you and dependant upon the number of learners you have who need to receive the training (up to our ten delegate per course maximum), we encourage all of our clients to keep your class sizes small where possible. This provides a more personable and effective learning experience for you and allows the trainer to give more individual attention to each and every student.

What is the Teaching Method for Our Excel Courses?

The teaching method for our private Excel courses is Instructor-led training (ILT), which means that our courses are engaging, immersive, hands-on and interactive, and thereby facilitate more effective learning and information retention. With this participatory, hands-on learning method your staff will retain information better, whether they are studying Excel in-person or via live virtual classroom. And, whilst we are happy to provide lectures, demonstrations and show-and-tells for larger groups (plus drop-in surgeries for ad hoc technical advise and explanation), the instructor-led training approach is by far the most reliable, tried-and-tested teaching methodology to bring your Excel know-how to life in a small class size setting.
