Extremely relevant course
Although my knowledge of Excel is probably below the Basic level 1, the instructor was very good in helping slower members like myself to understand and I did not feel I was left behind. It was much better than I had expected (or feared) and will help me in future use of Excel.
Would recommend other people to do the course.
Very well presented, time constraints meant that some topics were not covered for long enough. Felt part of the training, not just observing.
Thoroughly enjoyed the course. I have learned a lot of new techniques that I can put into my daily work
Very good and helpful
The main things I learnt were a variety of different formulas – Anchoring, Auto sum, Pivot tables – producing a training matrix for the group, Conditional formatting, printing and freezing headers!! Karen was an excellent trainer. Went at the right pace and explained everything well!!
Absolute referencing and conditional formatting were my favourites- I will be able to use these frequently 🙂 I use excel daily with Ctrl F, Ctrl H and various other formulae but did not know absolute referencing and many other shortcuts or formatting options. Found today brilliant!! Relax, Karen is lovely! She goes at the right pace and makes it fun.
The three main things I have learnt are the depth and scope of excel, usefulness of creating charts and pivot tables and how to protect my tables. It’s worth doing as an extension of Excel knowledge.
It is an excellent course, you will learn very useful short cut keys which will save time at work. I would definitely recommend this course.
Will be easier and quicker on the shortcuts we learnt. Learnt more about tabs that could be useful. Learnt more about formulas
Recommend this course as it was enjoyable and useful to our normal work role and also able to take into the next step and use in the future.
It has been really useful to challenge the way I currently do work and discover quicker and more efficient ways to work.
I would recommend to anyone who uses excel on a daily basis, as need to use the shortcuts daily to embed the knowledge.
It was extremely relevant and I feel motivated to learn more.
The three main things that I learnt were Vlookups, functions and formulae in general and data management. Training delivered was good but tended to be focused on sales/accounting. Before doing this course it would be useful to have a good working knowledge of Excel and/or attend the other courses, however it is definitely worth doing.
Enjoyed the course covered an awful lot. A good beginner or refresher course.
Yes, really enjoyed the session,it was a busy session,did loose the plot at one point, but I feel more confident now that I can produce more effective spreadsheets. The trainer was very patient with me and explained everything so that I could understand many of the areas I was struggling with. I loved the mini tests as this reassured me that I had actually understood the session.I found the graphs to be easy and I know these will be benificial to me.
The three main things I have learnt are shortcuts, Pivot Tables and V & H LookUps. I really enjoyed it – Karen covered so many topics but I didn’t feel like it was too much information so I think I can use it next week even!
Good upbeat trainer. Very knowledgeable. At times a bit fast for me to follow but soon explained.
Well worth doing, I will definitely be using some of the shortcuts and it will help me use excel more effectively when working.
I found this training course extremely useful and I believe that it will be hugely beneficial to my overall work and efficiency. I would recommend, in order to get the most value from employees, to provide all staff who are regularly use excel with this training.
Very busy & quick, not much time to digest the information before next topic took over
The training has been really helpful and I’ve learnt a lot. Its been done at the right pace for the group and trainer was great. I’ve learnt how to save time in Excel, as well as hints and tips for programmes universally and different formulae and how they work. This will help with my work as it will save me a lot of time during the day.
The course was really interested. I enjoyed it
Thank you
I felt that the training session was excellent and I really enjoyed it. I now feel motivated to learn more and I would definitely recommend to others.
The course will assist me with spreadsheets, formulas, this is ideal for any beginners or with people with limited knowledge,
Very good course for beginners that taught me more that I was expecting to learn.
Excellent training, very useful. Many thanks.
Really enjoyed it, learnt a lot of new functions, realised I don’t know as much about excel as I thought I did!
Worth while experience because it made me aware of what I have to do to get started and I am no longer afraid of computers. Most enjoyable, thank you!
I really enjoys the course found it easy to understand and if I was struggling was explained well to me.
Found I didn’t struggle on parts I would have thought I would have normally.
And found the short cuts a lot of help.
Would recommend course to anyone who has had basic training on excel.
I would tell anyone wanting to do the course that they would get plenty out of the course if they listen and take notes.
The course was very informative, in a nice friendly and relaxed environment with plenty of time given to ask questions, the course went at an easy to understand pace. I would definitely recommend to others.
It was enjoyable, the trainer was very knowledgeable and passionate. There was a lot of info to take in so the book pack will be helpful.
Custom functions on toolbar. Use of templates. Data tables and Data usage.
There was a lot to take in. Excel has so many functions that are generally not understood or used. This type of training is excellent.
Great training course, really engaging. Trainer was very knowledgeable and answered all questions with no problems. I came away with a good handbook, that I can refer back to if I forget anything. I have learnt how to animate everything in PowerPoint to maximise effect during a presentation Ð editing images will come in really useful (removing background); How to get the most out of setting templates & how easy these are to change and the shortcuts, which are also relevant in other Microsoft programs, they will speed up my day to day workload.
I really enjoyed the training and found it interesting, might be an idea to have the course run over two half days as I felt myself getting tired over the afternoon.
What are the 3 main things you have learnt today and how will you integrate them into your work?
How to use tools available to me to help when using windows
Making and designing graphs
How to enter data and use it to help in my job
I have enjoyed the course today. The tutor was very good at explaining in detail. It was easy to follow with the prompts on screen and also any problems were shown on the computer itself. It has given me an insight into commands and quick secrets that I had no previous knowledge about. I will use this in both my work and private computing. I would definitely recommend this to colleagues and family.
Very useful course that taught me to use more options of relevant software. Really enjoy it and I was pleased with the trainer’s attitude and ability to explain.
Excellent, really enjoyed it.
The 3 main things I’ve learnt today were:-
Shortcuts
Overlaying calendars
Conditioning and rules
I would have loved to have been able to do the full two day course as I think 3 hours was not sufficient.
Short cuts for sums and ways to navigate excel spread sheets which will help complete jobs quick. Outlines on graphs etc which will help me to summarise data. Pivot tables will be useful to use to look through multiple data in one place.
I believe the training is very useful as there are so many short cuts to use to make yourself more productive on the computer. Karen the trainer makes it easy to follow the training and is very clear on the use of each tool. Has been one of the best tools I’ve learnt to use in work and outside.
I learnt shortcuts to get to where I need to go to! How to format information very quickly which I did not know how to do before. I can now create a worksheet from scratch with the information from today. I felt the trainer was very professional and delivered the course to a level I could understand. Most enjoyable 🙂 Would highly recommend.
I found the course very enjoyable and the trainer was patient and very knowledgeable. I would certainly recommend this course.
The three main things that I learnt are tables, ‘Sum’ and inserts. The whole course was relevant and will be used within my current role. Excellent – highly recommend and I would encourage anyone who wants to broaden their knowledge to attend.
The training was relevant and to the point, not over excessive and boring. I would tell people thinking of doing the course to do it to gain a greater insight into excel. The organiser would be told that the course difficulty level is relevant, some points my experience was greater than the material being taught but that is expected at some point.
Customising the quick access toolbar. Creating a new wizard. Cell names and naming ranges – help find location of data quickly.
Yes, course has been really useful. Lots of tools that I don’t currently use – didn’t know about them.
I learnt charts, pivots and general overviews. Course not long enough to fully understand what is needed, perhaps two days. Quite hard work and full day to keep up.
The three man things I learnt are changing styles, layout of docs and picture/shape formatting. Overall a good paced course. There were several elements of the course that will save me time. I learnt from the course and it will definitely benefit me.
Good to be given an insight into the potential of Excel.
Sign up to the course and get trained up
The training has helped me to utilise the shortcuts in the software.
The three main things I have learnt are format painter (and double click), access to tabs by right hand click and timeline slicers. I will take on board the shortcuts and learnt that less is more with formulae, graphs and tables. The camera tool is a great tool to get data into PowerPoint.
The course was brilliant and I really enjoyed the session. Karen would build on topics that we might find useful that are relevant to our jobs. I learnt a lot and would definitely recommend.
What are the 3 main things you have learnt today and how will you integrate them into your work? Using and applying charts. Conditional formatting. Absolute references and other tips.
I enjoyed the training and would highly recommend it to others wanting to learn more about Excel.
Today I have learnt loads of new things and ways to work. I found it really enjoyable and thought the course overall was excellent.
Excellent training! So many tips, shortcuts and methods I didn’t know make working with Excel so much easier and more productive. Highly recommended
I thought the training day was great, everything that was taught was done in a very professional way and was spaced out well with plenty of time to get a good understanding of everything that was being shown. Getting involved with the learning helped massively with understanding and remembering everything we was being taught.
I would definitely recommend this course to my colleagues.
It was great, easy to understand for a pretty complicated program. It was explained in a simple and interesting way which was very enjoyable and you could see the trainerÕs passion for it which made it more fun.
This is going to really help me in my role hugely.
Very good
The course has helped me to understand Macros and Formulas.
This course has improved my ways of working and I believe it will save time. It also has improved my confidence. I will be definitely be going for the next level of course.
I really enjoyed the training but would have gained more if I’d done the 1st level before. Will be trying some of this with the Excel Level 2 spreadsheets I’m using.
Karen certainly knows her stuff! Easy going, flexible training on all aspects of Office – have had Excel and Outlook and am booked in for Word next month. Would recommend to anyone looking to brush up or learn new skills – there is a lot of functionality we don’t even know about!
I would recommend my colleagues to attend the course to gain new skills & feel more confident in using excel. I need to get back to the office & start using it now!
The course was very informative, not slow paced as expected. The course presenter was very engaging and the time went fast. Would definitely recommend the course, there is always loads to learn. Will definitely be using in my day to day job, excellent course Thank you Karen!
Very well set out and felt engaged as the trainer involved us with testing games and reminding me what I had learnt which helped me to remember a lot more.
Very enjoyable and informative. I have found better ways to format data and to show information in graphic form and have learnt various shortcuts that will be useful.
My experience of training today was great. The trainer really helped explain Excel and what you can do with it clearly, and made sure we all understood at the end. This course would be really helpful to people who have little confidence, or no idea about excel, as it covers a lot of the things you would be doing in your day to day job. It helps you get a good understanding if you were planning on taking the next levels up. This course is also good for people who may need a refresh on Excel like myself.
This course will help in making the office systems more straight forward and cut down on admin time.
It was very thorough and extremely detailed to learn quicker and more efficient ways of working. I really enjoyed it.
This course has enabled me to save time while running repeat tasks and using shortcuts and formulas to make the job easier.
Was very good looking forward for next level, thank you soo much.
If you are self-taught in excel you likely have a lot of gaps in your knowledge and don’t know the quickest or most efficient way of doing things. A lot of time can be saved by attending this course making you more productive at work. Also Excel is able to do a lot more things than you probably realise and by learning these things you can produce better work.
The course is an enjoyable day and the content isn’t too heavy.
I really enjoyed the training today. I don’t feel overloaded and the information is very relevant to my work and pitched at my skill level. The trainer made the experience fun and memorable, and I felt comfortable asking questions which were answered well. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn shortcuts in Excel.
What are the 3 main things you have learnt today and how will you integrate them into your work?
I found the keyboard shortcuts very useful and the game is a great way to try and remember them. I also found the printing very useful and the formulas. I will continually practice to try and integrate them in to my work as a way of being more efficient and saving myself some time in day to day tasks.
Great experience really enjoyed it. Very useful and informative.

I liked it how it was constantly being related to our working lives, so I could see how other people use it, it was very beneficial to me. Could include more independence/asking people how they think you might do something. Overall very pleased with the whole experience.

Truly excellent! Completely would recommend anyone to take up these courses, so helpful and I can’t wait to put this all into practise. This was fantastic as it was so informative and our instructor explained everything so well! Definitely will thank the organiser and encourage them to put everyone on these courses.
Excellent, very useful and I gained a lot from the course. The trainer was brilliant and made the course very light so it didn’t feel so intense with her humour. Worth doing the course to pick up hints and tips especially quick links/cheats. Quick cheats make my Mondays quicker when sorting data, along with a reminder of charts and tables so I know how to format them and make them stand out, using ribbons that hadn’t used before to mark my work.
I would definitely recommend this course to others as I found it to be extremely relevant to my job, The trainer took the time to cover all topics in full and kept us actively involved all the way through.
Even booking on to the course was clear and straightforward.
It was very informative. Using some of the tricks shown to me I should be more efficient doing my daily / weekly tasks. I will need to play with them more myself to build confidence, but I have the basic knowledge of a lot of areas I didn’t have before.
I can say that i do feel like Excel Guru after this course I can find my way round Excel with more confidence and knowledge. Thanks
I would I highly recommend the course to all office workers there is so much information provided and knowledge from the tutor.

Formatting cells; terminology; formulas;
Enjoyable, easy to grasp.
I learnt about shortcuts, how to lock/unlock a timesheet and new Window functionalities
Shortcuts – timesaving. Graphs – relevant to display info. Formatting – make info more dramatic.
VLookups, macros and lists were particularly useful today. It was very interactive, we were able to ask questions throughout the day.
Everything I thought I knew did not scratch the surface of what the full picture is and time saving from larger and larger data along with greater analytic tools will bring great value to my work
I will be more in depth when doing my PC work and using the shortcuts.
I learnt about charts, templates and pivot tables – They all relate to information/jobs already being done in my job. Excellent training with opportunity to ask questions.
I have learnt shortcuts for things such as copying, pasting and cutting data. This will save me time when editing my worksheets. I have learnt how to create a chart by using shortcut F11 which also creates a new chart sheet. This will be really useful for me when creating charts for many of my spreadsheets. I’ve also learnt how to edit margins whilst in print preview, this will save me time in adjusting margins and reprinting before I am certain the whole sheet is included on the specific page. I thought the training course was really beneficial and the pace we went through it meant everyone fully understood everything. I would recommend others to go on this course as it will definitely save a lot of time daily.

Short cuts
Advanced sort
Ill incorporate into my monthly reporting and data analysis
This course will save me hours of time.
Excellent training and showing how to do things simply, where I would usually see these things as complicated. Training was simple to understand and well explained.

I would recommend this course to people who don’t have much knowledge on Excel, as it allows people to learn new things and this can then allow them to make their work easier to do. I learnt how to make pivot tables more convenient to read, learning the different methods of using formulas of data and using flash fill.
I learnt about using shortcuts, formatting and SUM formulae. It is very informative and a lot to take in but it can help a lot for inputting data and formatting.

The course was very helpful and taught me a lot of things that I did not already know. There was a lot of information in one day, so having the information alongside is very necessary. A shorter summary document as well as the large book would be helpful . How to protect Excel sheets to keep data secure.
Freeze Panes/Split screens etc. are very helpful for me when using such large amounts of data.
We looked at Shortcuts that making using Excel a lot quicker e.g. flash fill and create table shortcuts.
Excellent, clear instruction with lots of useful tips from a super user
I would recommend the course to anyone as even though there were varying levels of expertise in the room, we all learned from it.
A really enjoyable course, would really like to do the next level to further advance my knowledge.

I also learnt, amongst others thing, commands that enable operations to be done in a more streamlined way and formatting for impact relevant to an audience.
The course was really helpful, covered a lot but all at a pace that was tailored to us and our levels on excel. Lots of key points and short cuts to take from it, as well as more detailed functions like the what if analysis and macros. I learnt about Formula Ð like HLookup, data validation and what if analysis with data tables and goal seekers. I would definitely recommend this course to others.
The trainer displayed excellent knowledge and application. Their ability to explain the information was superb with great examples and shortcuts. There was excellent course materials and references and the learning activity was 100% relevant to my job. I’d rate the session 10/10 and would recommend the course to my colleagues.
Useful shortcuts to support my role. Better knowledge of data collection and how to use it. It was a very good course, useful to support me and help manage my time better.
The three main things I learnt were shortcuts for sort, BODMAS and proofing/auto-correct. Very educational, worth doing, feel like I need to do the level 2 & 3 courses.
I will be recommending this course to others. It was a very relaxed and comfortable environment and Karen addressed all of my questions. I feel it was the right level of knowledge for my current ability and I look forward to implementing some of the skills that I have learned and applying them to my role. Thanks Karen!
The main things I learnt are short cuts and Quick Access. Great foundation level to build on. Excellent, so much to learn and many new functions which help to save time.
I thought this course was very good, not knowing a lot about excel. Today I learnt how to navigate excel; How to print; How to calculate.
Lots of content, but a good speed and level of detail. Lots to go after when back in the office, but time and notes to do that. Books given also have the option for future exercises, so more practice if needed. Good course, I will definitely recommend. I enjoyed learning about:
F11 for charts, and quick and easy ways to edit them

Sliders for pivot tables

The training was a very useful aid not only for my job role and for future projects within my company but also I can use this training later in life with my own children to help them learn more effectively.
The main things I’ve learnt are:- How people learn; What learning style I am which has helped identify different ways of delivery; What tools and skills are needed to help learners understand the content presented.
Day 2
Day 3
Reading body language:
To ensure the learners and co-workers are performing and if not I can adjust my style.
Transactional Analysis:
I am now very aware of how people can misinterpret what I say and then I end up with a child parent situation that can ultimately cause conflict.
Visual Cues:
How to read people using their eye movements or at least get an idea if they understand me.
The full course has been of great benefit to me and I now feel very confident about delivering training now that I know how learners learn and how to deliver information to different learning styles. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who needs to deliver training. This is also very useful for all day to day interactions and I now even feel more confident as a person with the Knowledge I have gained.
I would definitely recommend the course if people want to hone in on and improve their excel skills. I have learnt a lot in relatively short space of time that I can now apply to my day to day job that should help improve my own processes.

The 3 main things I have learnt today are Formulas,
Charts and adding data to spreadsheets. It makes for Quicker + smarter ways to work
Training today was good, however the Arconic site / links didn’t work as they should have, which inhibited a number of the modules. Cloud based section also didn’t work as not activated within the organisation. I did learn the Fundamentals of SharePoint access and how it links to other MS programs. I really enjoyed it and thought it was excellent.
Go for it you will be shocked at what you do not know!
What are the 3 main things you have learnt today and how will you integrate them into your work?
Pivot Tables to analyse and show data (Customers)

I was very surprised how much I learnt and took away from this training, I would recommend this course to any person that uses Excel, even if you think you know it all, there is always more to learn.
Enjoyable and have learned a great deal from this.
Excellent experience, trainer interacted well with group ensuring everyone kept up and kept us focused throughout.
I found this course really interesting and very helpful. For me the two key points I have learnt that will help me in my role are the ability to highlight long lists and tables, also the ability to save and email as PDF format. Setting up tables and freezing panes is also extremely useful.
The three main things I have learnt are pivot charts, formulae and Conditional formatting. Definitely great as a starting point with using Excel.
I found the course very interesting, makes me want to learn more.
Time flew by and I didn’t want the day to end.
There was lots of information but it was not presented in a way that I couldn’t understand.
Would definitely recommend this company.
Very enjoyable & worthwhile training, both on refreshing current knowledge & beginning to learn new skills.
Be worthwhile others thinking of doing the course to consider in detail what they need specifically from the course so that they can ensure this
Completed the advanced course but the basic and intermediate level would be useful to add a good basic understanding to structure files and improve productivity. Great opportunity to improve office productivity.

It’s been very good, the fact it was a small group allowed for us to work in our ability with the support of Karen. I’ve come across things in excel that will help to make my reporting more efficient based on the skills I’ve learnt today. The supporting documentation will help to work a quick reference, to help against skills fade.
The course gave me a better understanding of Excel functions and allowed me to speed up on operations.
Interesting training exploring and demonstrating the tasks. definitely learned new things.
I found the course to be excellent and provided a sound foundation to basic Word skills.
Good level of knowledge from the trainer. Useful information given and delivered well.
I learnt about utilising the shortcuts as a whole and specifically customising the quick access toolbar. I enjoy learning about charts as I don’t use them in my day to day role, but will add them to my monthly reports. I also learnt about shortcuts. It’s a very useful course to learn and understand functions that you may not use or know about. It can help make tasks a lot more simple and makes Excel an effective and efficient tool.
The things I found most useful were remembering formulas such as VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP and realising how this can help in my day to day work as I had forgotten these. Good recap on areas I needed.
I did enjoy the training session. I hope that all I have learnt will be used as soon as out IT sort the access issues.
The only minor drawback of the training was that I feel we need it more time practically to use the system and given tasks in the training. That would give us more confidence in what we have learnt.
Allan is very experienced and knowledgeable about the system and gave us very good examples of the usage of the SharePoint.
The three main things I have learnt are consolidation, advanced filtering and tables and Ctrl 8 in outlining. Excellent course, I look forward to doing the ‘Advanced’ level 3.
The training was very good and had a lot of different content to learn. Things were explained thoroughly until we understood it all to a reasonable standard. Some things I already knew but was good to practice more. Quite a lot of new things were shown which I can now apply so overall very satisfied.
It’s an excellent experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would like to tell others that the course is very useful for your daily work and highly recommended. I would like to thank Karen Turner my tutor.
No comment provided.
Shortcuts will save my time. I learnt a lot of new things like tables, graphs and formulas.
Tables, pivot, shortcuts and formulas are the main things that will help me on a day to day basis.
Experience today was excellent. I have always been afraid of Excel as it can appear very daunting however it was explained clearly, effectively and efficiently. Looking forward to being able to apply processes learnt today. Highly recommended for my role.
The training opened up the vast uses of Excel and applications possible in my work scope. I learnt a more efficient way to produce spread sheets; Loads of shortcuts, and how to use them, (will save time) and additional information gained on graphs and their presentation.
It was very good and practical. Trainer is very approachable person with excellent knowledge. I now have better understanding of Word documents.
That its easier to use the formulas then the normal way
Get on and do it – something for every one. The 3 main things I learnt today was basic knowledge to help me with charts, day to day tasks, future work I am involved with.
Really enjoyed the course, I feel more confident using the software. The main things that I will take into my job from the course inputting data in tables, pivot tables, charts and the shortcuts.
Really enjoyed the course.
I would tell people it’s a really good course with lots of good tips.
To encourage people to ask questions so they don’t feel embarrassed by their peers who may more experienced .
Although I was expecting to attend the advanced course, I still learnt things. I learnt about short cut keys; Use of graphic functions and had exposure to Excel 2013. I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it to my colleagues
The training was very informative. It covered lots of topics which included good working examples to concrete your learning. You have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and training was tailored as we went along to suit the delegates needs. Looking forward to applying what I have learnt in my job and looking forward to attending the next level.
I found it really enjoyable and easy to follow. It gave me lots of time saving tips – I think the blog and some follow up will help. Main thing now is to get practising and using the data and information.
If you think you know it all you most likely still would benefit from this session, it helps with excel as well as other Microsoft software’s. Anyone can benefit from refreshing memory and learn new tricks that you never knew. Excellent.
Very useful. Thank you.
I found it extremely relevant, it was excellent and I really enjoyed it!
Training was very good, useful, would recommend it to others.
Good.
If you use a computer and data, do the course.
Very helpful course.
Excellent, completely relevant to day to day working.
Course showed me Tables and Pivot Charts and how to get better reporting out of existing data. Interested in the next level.
Very informative and excellent delivery.
This training course has been extremely useful in working with excel and I would definitely recommend to anyone who works with excel no matter how skilled they are on it.
A massive thank you to Karen as well who was lovely and very helpful throughout.
The three main things I have learnt are building sheets & formatting, finding information and printing selected information. Very good, this will build confidence to use Excel to order information that would have previously been help in word documents!
Certainly investing a little time in taking this course will provide much required efficiency improvements in my daily activities and remove some frustrations! The course also acted as a great review and sanity check of things I thought I knew or had no concept at all of some functionalities.
Great training and developing knowledge with the ever changing excel. A lot of new features to improve my daily process and ease data analysis.
I would definitely tell others to go ahead and do the course, it is worth every minute and has helped me so much with my confidence in excel. I will now be able to save time and create better presented spreadsheets that I can use effectively.
What are the 3 main things you have learnt today and how will you integrate them into your work?
How to save time when creating spreadsheets
What all the different/ relevant ribbons mean
How to print more efficiently and in the correct way – previewing before I print
I found that the course gave me a greater understanding of Excel and I now need to complete the exercises in the book. I will challenge myself to improve the files I use on a regular basis to remove wasteful activities.
I think that this course is very useful for beginners or excel users who have basic knowledge of Excel. I feel that I have learn a lot and that I am now more confident with using the software.
Excellent course, really enjoyed it. Well worth it to learn all the shortcuts that make you work more efficiently.
Today I put in use: Microsoft One Note; Pivot Table and consolidating different data.
The training is clear and concise and relevant to the ability of the audience being taught. Good tools to learn particularly the shortcuts and a better understanding of formulas. Tools for the job very good i.e. laptop and mouse.
It was helpful and interesting. I learnt lots of new things that you wouldn’t be able to learn on your own. It simplified things that I originally thought were very difficult. I learnt how to create 3D formulas, pivot tables and now have a better understanding of conditional formatting.
The course gave me useful information. I will be able to use everyday at work. The trainer is very bubbly and her knowledge was impressive. additional info about passwords was also valuable
Really enjoyed the course, learnt a lot of new skills.
Karen is very clear in explaining everything if you are not sure.
A really useful course for those who use Excel a lot but feel they could use it better. Some things may be a refresher, but other things will be a revelation. You just don’t know which is which until you do the course!
An excellent course, the information was clear and concise and very useful to my everyday job – Thank you
Overall I really enjoyed the course, I found it relevant to the work that I do, the trainer took the time to explain each topic in full and answered any questions we had. You are taught more efficient ways to work using the Excel shortcut keys and generally how to do things properly. I would highly recommend the course, as it would save a lot of time.
Really useful, insightful and would recommend even for more advanced users. The three main things that I have taken from the course are shortcuts to make the working day more efficient, ways to present our data in a user friendly way and adapting pictures to suit a specific layout.
I have learnt all everything I need for my work.
The training workshop was very detailed and thorough. A great amount of skills have been learnt and this will be beneficial for everyone no matter what role you will undertake. Having demonstrations allow clearer understanding.
I learnt about efficient printing methods and formulae. Very useful and helpful course – although I had some understanding of Excel. It was good to start at the basic level as there were quite a few very simple & basic functions that I didn’t know. Will be signing up for the intermediate course next.
it’s a very informative training course. Not only is it informative it is tailored to the individual and company. I would recommend it to others that use outlook but want to improve the efficiency of its use.
Fantastic experience with an incredibly knowledgeable and fun teacher. Can’t wait for Karen to teach me excel!!!
Very useful course. Consider adding data validation to this level of course we spoke a lot about protecting spreadsheets and this is also a way of making sure the calculated data is correct.
I thought it was very useful for anyone that is using it on daily basis. Really enjoyed the course and ready for the next level. I learnt about several useful tools on formatting and recap of text functions, most of all a lot of useful shortcuts and gaps in formulas that I haven’t known before. This was a good preparation for the next course.
An eye opener to what is possible. Looking forward to trying things out and saving time. Extremely useful.
The three main things I learnt were auto sum for working with sales figures, shortcuts – a great way to make things a lot quicker and graphs – being able to display data in different formats. It was very enjoyable and pitched very well for my experience. I was able to take a lot from the course.
The day was fantastic. I’ve had so may WOW moments that will streamline my work it’s been amazing!
I would encourage all to attend just to see how the tips and tricks can assist in every day working. This will be so valuable and save me so much time, THANK YOU!
Karen was extremely helpful and made the training day very enjoyable. I would recommend this course to those interested and looking forward to attending Level 2
The training course was very good and definitely helped me to be able to use Excel more efficiently and able to process my reports better. Specifically it helped me with shortcuts to help make work more efficient, sums and how to do them quicker and easier and reporting data. Definitely worth others doing the course but is not that relevant to what we are doing at the moment but if you have no knowledge of Excel then is worth it.
The most useful things I’ve learnt on this 1/2 day course are:-
How to sort out clutter.
How to flag different items.
The tools that are available and understanding what they mean and do.
Absolutely, great trainer, fantastic attitude, very motivated and passionate.
I really enjoyed the class, it is not too complicated to follow but very useful and with practice can achieve the best results. Thank you very much for teaching us all, this was great fun. The best bits for me were shortcuts, pivot tables in more detail and advanced conditional formatting.
Good pace without leaving anyone behind. Excellent use of shortcuts. Excellent content for level 2.
This course is excellent for learning the basics. It would be ideal for everyone in the business from Supervisor level upwards to be able to do this course as I have learnt so many basic shortcuts which I never knew existed, but which has cost me hours manipulating and manually working on data before attending today.
I consider this course should be a pre requisite for anyone who has any involvement with excel.
The example of budgeting was excellent as we could relate to how this was put together and made it a very logical was of learning how to manipulate figures.
I think I learned many different things about the programme, and will find it helpful in my work life. I would recommend this course for anyone to which it is relevant as it is useful for time saving and knowing the basics. We were taught a more efficient way of working, how to use the software well and how to use it to improve, and we learned visual techniques such as charts and tables. Overall an excellent course and I really enjoyed it.
I would highly recommend this course. I have learnt new tricks and I found the trainer very helpful and I was not worried about asking anything if I was not sure.
Good but require a higher level personally.
A good valuable recap that mixed old knowledge with new, but also expanding on what I already knew. Achieved in a methodical and mapped out format. To understand the level they are at and what they can improve on.
Worth the time out of the working day to complete the course, good time spent for the bigger picture and ease of working.
Macros to decrease time on long tasks. Shortcuts to reduce time. Solver to find solutions.
Excellent course. Gained exactly the knowledge I wanted. Training and environment were perfect for our needs.
Excellent course.
The pace of the course was really good, not too fast so you had the time to take it in and understand what was happening.
I would recommend this course to anyone thinking of using Excel, after they’ve done the preceding courses.
Very positive and would encourage others to do the course. I have learnt about quick keys, which I will use every day, conditional formatting, which I will use to modify my schedules and order-books, and formulas, which I will do more of.
Learnt detailed functions I would not have come across myself or otherwise.
Good course.
I enjoyed the course, I have learnt all about how to use word which will help in my job.
The trainer’s ability to explain the information was excellent. I would definitely recommend it to colleagues.
Why do 10 things when you can do it in 1 ?!! I cannot wait to go and practise all the new information I’ve learnt and would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to improve their Excel skills.
The three main things I will take from today are: Lookup, Index, WhatIF
The course has given me more confidence with formulas.
Formulas. Shortcuts. Pivot Tables
Excellent course, well presented and enlightening.
The course was useful and informative and can be easily recommended to other colleagues.
The most useful parts were Outlines, Custom Views and removing zeros from tables.
The training was perfect for what I use Excel for. I would encourage everyone in Adient to undergo the training as the skills can be carried over in ALL roles within the business.
Today has been a great learning experience, but I have reached my ceiling in regard to what I need to know and this level was just enough for me to move on and put what I learned into practice.
I was surprised at how much I knew already, but now I know the short cuts.
I think its an excellent course to go on even if you think you know things already.
Thank you for making the course interesting and easy to follow.
Very good and entertaining training Thank You!
Karen was lovely, really helped to understand topics and she really enjoys what she does so motivates people to learn. Great course to help with my day to day work.
I think the training to day was good and very informative, I would tell other people what a excellent course it was and the trainer was excellent.
Really good course, especially as I would like to do the other levels. Really recommend this course to others.
I have learned a great deal that will be useful in my work. The extent of it’s use will be determined by future projects. I have really enjoyed today. The course was very well delivered and was in a relaxed style which helped learning.
The three main things that I have learnt are creating templates – make a template for each client, short cut keys – save time at work, and formulae. I found it very informative and feel it is a worthwhile course if you are using Excel daily.
I really enjoyed the course and all though I already knew some of the content I learnt some helpful tips and tricks and shortcuts which will in future allow me to work more efficiently.I tink I would benefit from the next level.
A lot to learn and it needs a lot of concentration. As for telling others, leave your pride at home and take whatever is relevant to you. The 3 top things I’ve learnt today were Use of ctrl buttons, function buttons, and where to find margins.
Gave me a better knowledge of Excel and how to use the tips & tricks and shortcuts.
The course was made very clear with useful shortcuts to improve efficiency.
This course was at a very basic level and I was expecting more. I was bored honestly. I already knew about 90 per cent and only some shortcuts were of use. I already work on pivot tables and have been manipulating data for several years. I could have done with probably the next level up/formulas/new pivot tables etc. Would have been better value for money on training budget. Not sure if it’s relevant to colleagues because I don’t know what level they are at, so couldn’t really recommend even though the course was very well presented and the trainer was patient and helpful throughout.
I enjoyed the training session and the learning materials were excellent.
What are the 3 main things you have learnt today and how will you integrate them into your work?
Shortcuts
Outlines
Watch Window
Today I’ve learnt all the quicker way of swopping and changing data, using and making charts and saving data and formatting them into charts .
I will put this into my work by using it to report any data saving and changing it into charts to see it more clearly.
I would tell anyone that does this course to listen very carefully. It is very helpful and could help any big business develop larger and more efficiently.
I thought the course was excellent. It helped me gain a greater understanding of the tools I already use in Excel and introduced me to a number of things that I will certain use in the future.
Unsure what I found most useful as the work I need to make this useful has not been handed over.
It was excellent, really enjoyed it. Would recommend.
I came into the training with a lack of understanding of a very important tool for my job.
Conditional formatting will be helpful for my AR Aging Report. Charts I found very interesting. I will be using Accountancy Number format – timesaver. Excellent to attend.
I thought the course was excellent and covered a good range of basic Word skills.
Useful course, some bits a little to basic for my needs, but very difficult to individualise for everyone.
Fantastic, well worth taking the time out to work on improving skills and business process, can see the impact of work on a daily basis. Would recommend this course to all wanting to develop the necessary skills for excel users. Keep inviting me to courses, would love to learn more!
The trainer tried to get across the main points of MS Project in a clear and precise way. However, MS Project is not like other MS products, so a huge learning curve is required. Only do this course if you intend to make use of MS Project straight away.
I would encourage my colleagues from any levels of excel experience to participate in the course, if not just for a refresher as I felt I had the opportunity to expand my knowledge of excel and leave my comfort zone.
I felt the course was very informative and felt comfortable to ask questions if I needed extra information.
The training was a good pace and felt the trainer kept the group stimulated through-out the session.
I thought it was a great experience and would recommend it to anyone who would need to use it.
I think it’s good to start from the first level as I’ve picked up on really useful tips and expanded what I already know as well
Very good, been having a go using the programme myself but there was a lot more to it than I realised. I’ve not really had much programme training but would recommend it and look forward to doing more.
Short cuts, making it easier to use and faster. The use of the ribbon and quick access toolbars. I really enjoyed the course, I would highly recommend, even if they thought they new it. You learn so much. Thank you very much 🙂
The training was useful.
I learnt a lot on shortcuts which allow to be really faster on my daily work.
The course is really worth doing it. You learn a lot that can directly be applied.
Really helped fill in the missing blanks and refresh what I did and didn’t know. The shortcuts are really good. Would have liked a bit more on the basic formulas as this is the part I find the most daunting and maybe less time on graphics at the end.
I would definitely recommend the course to my colleagues. It was extremely relevant.
Very good training course, all the short cuts are a must for everyone to know. I learnt how much time it will save and the amount Excel can do for you..
There were a lot of things I already knew about but the shortcuts will be a big help. I did learn some new things that will help with the spreadsheet work I do but probably could have done with learning things that are in the next level.
VERY GOOD AND YES WELL WORTH TAKING THE COURSE
Learned some short cuts and quicker or more efficient methods today.
Excellent course. Well delivered. Learnt useful tip and shortcuts.
I will recommend to employees who undertake manual reporting on spreadsheets as I feel the business could be more efficient in how it operates.
I am moving into a new role which involved ‘Financial Transformation’ across the Group. I believe this course will provide me with additional skills to undertake this work more efficiently and hopefully add value.
A good beginners/intermediate guide to LinkedIn – definitely worth a few hours of your time. I’ve improved content on my profile, set up a Company profile for current project and learnt how to tag posts.
Regardless of the level you are on you will learn something new and useful.
Lots of handy hints to speed up your use of excel.
Good training course, interactive with a good set of examples to help understand each part.
May be worth noting that if people have an understanding of formulas already they may need a higher level.
It was fun and informative. I learnt how to add media to my profile, how to get endorsements and how to improve my company/personal profile splitting.
The 3 most important learning points for me were: Advanced use of conditional formatting; Excel tools to help simplify files I use regularly and refreshed my knowledge of those tools I use occasionally.
Above all a very informative and well presented course.
Excellent course – helped me to understand the theory of how the info can be applied to your role using real life scenarios. A very useful course – thank you!
Excellent training from an excellent teacher!
Highly recommend this to others.
Learnt more in 6 hours than previously in 10 years.
The three main things I learnt were formulae, shortcuts and modifying worksheets. It was very informative.
What are the 3 main things you have learnt today and how will you integrate them into your work?
Excellent day, kept me completely focused and at ease, would highly recommend.
Excel training gave me a chance to see how easy is to work with excel and how much time I can save while using formulas and shortcuts for things on a daily basis.
Any time we can gain new skills to be more efficient has to help, so enjoyed the day.
I liked learning to use spreadsheets, shortcuts and stats/bar charts/pie charts. Go for it, it really opens your eyes.
I would encourage others to take the course as it is very helpful. I have learnt how Pivot Tables work to extract order details, sums I can work out, total figures clearly, add off different sheets, and Shortcuts which won’t take me a long to find and do.
Good but not overly relevant to my current position.
Subject was delivered in a clear and understandable manner. Could always ask questions if stuck and learnt a lot of formulas I never knew how to use. I found recording Macros most useful to optimise time spent on tasks, INDEX formula to use where VLOOKUP cannot be used and different shortcuts to use in Excel.
I really enjoyed the course and would recommend this to other colleagues.
Very relevant for logical and statistical functions.
Yes, would of liked to look at pivot tables, but that maybe too advanced for the level 1 course.
Worksheet, Formatting, Printing to enable me to do my daily work.
Excellent course and presentation
Worth while and apt for the job role.
Best bits for me were Graphs, Charts and Filtering. Great learning tool, taught me lots that I needed to know!
Great facilities and excellent Trainer, Karen is extremely knowledgeable, approachable and patient. She took the time to ensure that all (of different levels) were happy with the pace and content. Every other delegate I spoke with shared this positive feedback.
It is extremely relevant, on the IT helpdesk you do not know what the next call will be so you need a good general background. It felt that VLOOKUP functionality was lacking, hence joining this course. Today will help me progress and help the users in general. 3 main things learnt MATCH INDEX VLOOKUP and shortcuts to help streamline processes.
Very good course indeed.
Start at level 1 to get the short cuts and refresh old skills
All the shortcuts.
How much time is wasted using Excel when you don’t know how to use it? Well worth doing the course. Very nice atmosphere. Very informative.
Very good course for those with limited Excel experience. Would be keen to attend the intermediate course as level one is quite basic. However, I have picked up some very very handy tips and shortcuts.
Excellent. Less delegates allowing slightly more time and less interference
I wasn’t sure what the content level would be at. It would be worth starting at Level 1 whatever your knowledge and working up. Some things you know well, other you don’t.
My opinion about this training experience is a positive one. I learnt lot information regarding formulas, data table and macros etc. I think this course is better for those ones who look forward to learn new things.
The 3 main things I have learnt today are:
1. How to use Solver in Excel.
2. How to use a macros document.
3. Formulas
I learnt lots of useful shortcuts to help me save time; The use of tables and how this can help me when analysing data; How to format text rather than doing this by hand.
Very useful and informativesession. Great learning atmosphere and support was always given when needed. I feel much more confident in using Excel after this course which is going to make my use of Excel much more efficient. Thank you!
Definitely worth doing. I already used most of the functions but there is always something that you learn new shortcuts. My top 3 things learnt were the ability to customise ribbon, customising the format of numbers and Shortcuts.
Easy to follow and keep up even if you felt slightly behind, very patient trainer to help you catch up with the group. Approachable trainer.
Trainer was excellent, very thorough and engaging. Happy to repeat or recap any parts of the training delegates thought necessary and willing to go into more detail. Flexible in approach to the training guidelines enabling delegates to ask for insight into areas that they felt needed more attention.
I really enjoyed the training experience, our tutor was extremely motivating, encouraged class participation and I feel my knowledge of Excel has increased massively.
I now need to absorb and practice all the new information I have learned.
What are the 3 main things you have learnt today and how will you integrate them into your work?
Helpful Short Cuts to help me become more efficient in my job.
A greater understanding of what Excel can offer me in terms of my job.
Finding out new applications which I had not previously used.
I think people even with good excel skills would enjoy the course – very good at keeping peoples attention.
I think it is a good course for the beginner, I think I needed to go on the next level up. I still learnt about lockable fields; Conditional formatting and Smart.
Yes I found it really interesting and it was fun.
Very good training day, feel as if I now have a much better understanding of Excel. Looking forward to using the new skills I have learnt. I would highly recommend anyone who uses Excel at any level to take part in the course, it has hints and tips that can help any user. I would have perhaps liked to of started on the level 1, but I am certainly looking forward to doing level 3.
Great well paced and clearly delivered lesson.
Very well organised and presented course, instructor was very detailed and made it easy to follow, it is a great course to do if you are already capable on excel.
Really enjoyed it, Karen was great and made the topic easy to understand and enjoyable. Will recommend to others as a lot of the things I learnt I had no idea Excel could do!
Best bits? Short cuts to use day to day; How to select whole data tables Ð really useful with large sets of data; How to sort data without having to highlight and easily create graphs.
it’s a good informative course and well presented. I thought we would go deeper into some of the subjects. I also thought we would be left alone to do more complex exercises to test whether or not we had grasped something. The end of the course subjects seemed to be a bit random and irrelevant.
Great course.
Covered all areas that I was hoping to cover and gave good shortcut tips
Great way to build a foundation of Excel knowledge.
3 main things learnt – Shortcuts within Excel; Conditioning formatting; Shortcut to spell check F7
I grasped a general outline of Excel and learnt about layouts/functions & the objective/purpose of Excel. I found the course was a steep but excellent learning curve – starting from zero knowledge base. I now have an appreciation of the programme that I can apply and practice.
Today I have learnt about Macro recording, adapting ribbons to suit everyday actions and what is analysis.
Very thorough. Could have spent longer on some sections.
I would most definitely recommend to other people.
The course was very well presented and even though I feel I was perhaps learning at the wrong level, I felt that the information was described in a way I could easily understand and more importantly use in a ‘working’ environment when in my daily job/role. Good course on which I learnt valuable information.
The three main things I have learnt are correctly formatting tables – reducing chance of errors in big datasets, Audit features – tracing errors or changes to data and Graphics – I do a lot of presentations so this will be useful. It came at the end of a long week so to keep me interested until 4pm on a Friday was an amazing task! I would suggest people keep an open mind, there are new/better ways of dong the tasks we do it’s just accepting this then we can improve.
I feel I have a better knowledge of getting to places quicker (short cuts). 3 most useful things were Linking sheets, useful shortcuts and formulas.
Karen was very knowledgeable on the subject and passed her knowledge on well – I learnt more about Functions, shortcuts and features.
The training course was excellent, above my expectations and fun. I have been waiting to do the excel training course for a long time (3 years to be exact) so I was really happy that the session covered absolutely everything I wanted to learn. I would highly recommend the course and I would definitely encourage my team to go onto the course even if it’s for a refresh.
The things that I have taken away from today’s course are procedures that will make my job easier, there are so many simple short cuts that I never knew of. I know that a lot of other team leaders in my company will benefit from this training as well. This course has given me vast knowledge that I can now take back to my job. I feel I can now work more efficiently.
The main things that I learnt are using multiple workbooks/worksheets, tables – knowing how to create a table and templates and settings. I would advise colleagues to certainly take the course as even if you think you know Excel – there is an awful lot to learn and discover.
The main things I have learnt are using tables instead of tabs, Alt + tab and pinning files to quick access toolbar. These will be so helpful and make everyday work much more efficient. Lovely relaxed atmosphere to learn in – no awkward questions i.e. picking on random people for answers. Left me wanting more!
Karen’s delivery was excellent, and it didn’t feel like being back at school. Everyone enjoyed the course and I would recommend anyone that has to use Excel to take this course, whether, as a novice, or refresher course for more experienced users.
I learnt about generating spreadsheets, understanding the versatility of Excel and creating interesting and clear documents.
Very good course full of lots of relevant content. I would recommend to others to build up their knowledge.
Excellent training, would recommend this to team members.
I learnt more of Excel and how to develop my role.
How to find things. Audit trails. Go ahead and do it.
Good course, very useful and a great starting point to use Excel. It teaches you about formatting, shortcuts and using formulas.
I learnt separating names, conditional formatting and multiplying cells. The names separating I will use on my current all delegates lists and it will save me hours. I really enjoyed the course, although I use Excel on a day to day basis I have been taught new valuable shortcuts which will assist me endlessly. I will encourage others to attend and bring with them examples of their own spreadsheets so that the trainer can put the value of what they are teaching into context.
Great course
Very useful course for my day to day job hadn’t expected it to be so useful to be honest
For me personally, the Goal Seeker & Solver were not appropriate for my job but colleagues in other departments may find this useful
How certain things work on spreadsheets. Use of shortcuts. Just how easy things are when you know how.
Very good content. The trainer had lots of time for us all
My opinion on the session was mostly positive. I took more away from the workshop than I had to begin with. It got me thinking about some of the calls I take and how best I can integrate into my conversations with the customers so I come off as the best I can for BJS and for myself.
The method that was showed to us on the day, especially with the Positive, Minus, Positive technique, is something I am going to use.
Excellent training, clear instructions and a great day.
Helpful for my current role, understand what Excel can do better, useful info on shortcuts.
I use Excel every day but I’m so glad I started on the Excel secrets level 1 it teaches you key parts of Excel that may have been brushed over. I have a better understanding of key shortcuts that are needed to understand things that go on behind the scenes.
The 3 main things I’ve learnt today are:-
Helpful shortcuts
More knowledge of basic formulas
Using Excel effectively to save time in the work place
I had an interesting day and there was a variety of topics taught, with a good amount of time spent on each one. It would have been more useful to have been sent on this course nearer the start of my training as some things I already knew. I do now have more knowledge about macros, shortcuts (splitting different tabs will be very useful), and going through scenarios to enable deeper analysis is useful.
Kept my attention all day.
Exceeded my expectations and really gave a business benefit for being more effective. Would definitely recommend to peers of all levels and abilities, you don’t know what you don’t know.
My opinion on this training course is high as it really helps beginners as well as people with prior Excel experience. I think todays training was excellent and well presented by Karen.
The training was a taster to the advanced features of Excel including Power Query, Desktop BI. It has encouraged me to invest further hours delving deeper into these functions to see how it can make my Job easier and improve the flow of information provided.
Training was very good.
I learnt Site Design, Navigation, Lists & Surveys etc
The three main things I have learnt are shortcuts – will speed up my use of Excel and other programmes, tables and pivot tables – will try to incorporate into my role at some point, and the ability to share a workbook so more than 1 person can use it at the same time – which I could try and implement. Very enjoyable and educational which will help my day to day role and would definitely recommend.
The three main things that I have learnt are charts, pivot tables and shortcut keys for opening and closing etc. A lot to learn but very useful and will be used back in the work place to save time. Very helpful and informative and related what we were learning to our workplace to help us understand which was very good.
I learnt how to use One Note and the short cuts.
The course was good with relevant data to our business.
Shortcuts, formatting & Charts. Shortcuts I will use all the time the others won’t be used every day but will be very handy as and when.
Very helpful course will/would recommend to anyone.
Very Useful, lots of things to play around with and see how we can use them. Definitely a benefit to anyone who uses and maps huge data-sets etc.
The three main things I have learnt are tables. shortcuts and formatting. Very informative and useful. Great tutor who explained things well and broke it down so I could understand it.
Very informative and useful. Very enjoyable course
I liked formatting, shortcuts and handling data across different spreadsheets. It has been a good, constructive day.
I would recommend others to go on this course, and three useful things I learnt today:
Shortcuts
Data Validation
Solver
I have definitely learned some new skills from taking this course. The shortcuts are a really big time saver, and I am now able to insert pictures in to Excel and use new formulas. Overall the course was excellent and I really enjoyed it.
Very useful.
Learnt basic knowledge. Will recommend this course to others. This is very informative.
Great!! Will be very useful in my day to day work.
I would tell others to take the course because its great fun and there’s things you wouldn’t know before training. It would help you do tasks a lot quicker than you are used to doing now.
The main three things that I learnt were shortcuts, transpose and text to columns. Although staff feel comfortable using Excel, this course teaches a lot of short cuts which will benefit staff.
A good overview on what can be introduced into your working life on Excel tools. Need to practise and use. 3 most useful things learnt were VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables and Data Validation.
The three main things that I learnt were formulae, charts and better ways to print. Very pleased with the course. As a self taught person, I enjoyed learning new things that I didn’t know but also confirming what I had taught myself was in fact correct.
The three main things I have learnt are sorting – useful for putting vehicles in model order, spell check and auto sum – shortcut on how to quickly workout total of vehicles on spreadsheet. Very good! Covers all useful shortcuts to help navigate easier.
For me it was excellent! I have learnt about advanced filters as well as some interesting things that I can do on pivot tables and all the controls tricks, that really save me time! It allowed me to catch up on some things and prepare me for the guru training.
Excellent course, I learned a lot that will help in my daily work, including learning pivot, formula and graph details.
I have learnt are more short key functions for Excel, gained a better understanding of selecting and formulating data and macro formatting. I have learnt things that will save time on PDF conversion of files. Quite an intense course but well delivered course.
Really enjoyed it and time passed quickly. The subject and information was very useful. The trainer was great and I would recommend the course to others.
Cheats! Time savers every day. F4 – major use – saves so much time! Conditional formatting – arrows to express sales. Frazzled! In a brilliant way. I have learnt so many cheats but also so many more technical details that I never knew existed. I was debating the cost and whether to do Level 1 or 2, Level 1 will certainly be the cost saver! Saying this, I’ve already booked now onto Level 2 and can’t wait!
Trainer’s knowledge was extensive, good explanation and examples used, very approachable. Some areas could have been given more time where some easier areas were given slightly too much. Overall fantastic materials and very useful advice and training that be useful in my role.
Thoroughly enjoyed it and would like to learn more.
The three main things that I have learnt are formulas, charts, filtering. With my period end report and weekly analysing all three of the above will be a massive help. I would highly recommend the Excel training course! I found it amazing, informative and has opened a whole new avenue to making my job easier. Great fun, thank you.
The three main things I have learnt are shortcuts, Autofill and VLOOKUP. A bit last minute booking so not as structured as the Trainer would have liked but still picked up lots of basic formulae and tricks and tips for useful shortcuts.
I would recommend it to people of all levels even if it’s the basic course! Everybody of all abilities have said they have learned something.
Excellent course with very relevant information. It will enable me to better manage my time and hopefully make me more efficient and benefit the organisation! Thank you
The most useful things I learnt were:- How to organise data; How to manipulate data; Formulas
The course was brilliant, I felt like I have learnt a lot such as the very useful shortcuts as this will save time when using excel in the future. I would recommend this course to anyone as it covers the basics of excel and will ensure that everyone is able to use the program.
I learnt lots more than three things but pivot tables stand out. Be careful to ensure correct level as some could struggle while other may find too easy. Refreshers would be useful in the future.
This was a great experience and I would recommend this to other people. The trainer was very knowledgeable and encouraged input from the whole group.
I found the training very insightful and the information was presented clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. When I had any questions, these were answered promptly and confidently.
Overall a fantastic course and I really look forward to the next day.
Day 2
What are the 3 main things you have learnt today and how will you integrate them into your work?
I have learnt how to effectively plan and how to facilitate the needs of my group and I have also learnt about the praise sandwich and how to apply this to situations.
The training today was fantastic. I really enjoyed the presenting session as this gave me a chance to be judged by everyone as a group and receive constructive feedback as to my performance. I have also been very keen on learning how to deal with some difficult learning environments which was also covered today and how to cope when dealing with large training groups.
Day 3
This was an enjoyable, informative course with lots of useful tips and tricks. Good exercises to cement the learned information and clear, useful, supporting information handouts. Thank you.
Really enjoyable course, I have taken away some key points in which I will use in my day to day job. I would Highley recommend this course to others.
It is great course. Useful for planning and comparing information.
I learnt more useful shortcuts, pivot table – creation and development, managing the screen e.g. split. This built well on the Level 1 course and helped to reinforce elements of that whilst demonstrating what I could achieve in Excel.
I enjoyed the course but need to practice what I have learnt. I would recommend this course to others. Thank you.
It is an eye opener. I feel that if anyone uses Excel on a day to day basis it is beneficial and you will learn things that are useful on your day to day tasks. I would recommend that if you have never taken this training before to do so.
Very useful course and would look forward to next step in the training.
The training was very relevant to the tasks I perform every day and the guidance was given very clearly. I would highly recommend colleagues and other industries to take this training course.
I thought the course was well taught and easy to follow. Karen was patient and helpful if you got lost or stuck on anything.
She showed us extra helpful tips to cut time and answered any questions we had and I would encourage others to take the course.
Information provided was very useful within my day to day use of Excel, I believe it would be great if the cheat codes were provided in a cube to put on my desk so I can be reminded of this. I can now create a tables, I can now print in different views, and the cheat codes will be very beneficial and save a lot of time.
What are the 3 main things you have learnt today and how will you integrate them into your work?
Tables Fully integrate into sales data for use on a weekly and monthly basis
Pivot Tables, Used as above for team split out of performance / order progression
Short Cuts, Use daily to speed up use of Excel
What is your opinion about your training experience today? What would you tell others thinking of doing this course?
Highly recommended, you will think you know how to use Excel É but this will give you the correct and productive way to implement the software.
Even now, there is more to learn on the next course !
Good course-Its a lot of information.
Yes all very applicable to work, needs practise but should make things easier saving time better able to prepare reports.
Useful refresher on things and handy shortcuts, I learnt table totals, range names, Shortcuts. It was extremely relevant.
Course was very good and provided many useful hints and tips to help me work smarter.
Learnt some handy tips that I did not already know. Should quicken up my day to day tasks in the office. I would have benefited from the basic course. I would be interested in the 3rd level of the course to develop training on VLOOKUP’s. Using the laptop made it easier to follow and I understood more easily.
A great deal of new skills and knowledge imparted – now needs practice to develop proficiency and to gain the most benefit with regards to time that can be saved. I’ve learnt ways of compiling spreadsheets in a time efficient manner and ways of making such documents easier or clearer to comprehend. It was excellent, extremely relevant and I really enjoyed it.
Learned all the basics in a short period of time, good if you have no knowledge of MS Project.
The main things I’ve learnt today were Pivot Tables & Slicers, MATCH and INDEX and manipulation and presentation of data.
Informative, useful and relevant. Trainer went at a good pace, was extremely knowledgeable on the subject, interacted well with all delegates. Very useful as a refresher course. Looking forward to the Advanced course.
Thank you.
Very useful and will save time in my job.
The three main things I have learnt are Pivot Tables, VLookUp and Macros. It will definitely save me hours each month.
Good training, interesting and friendly. learned a lot
Well done on this course, brilliant! I learnt that you are never too old to learn. You might think you know how and what to use but the course has given me a tool to use, instead of just fumbling around.
Excellent, really enjoyed it. An extremely good course, learnt loads.
Very knowledgeable and helpful.
Good course.
The course was informative and interesting and at the right pace for a novice like me. Even if people think they know Excel I am confident there is always more to learn. In particular I learnt the very basics as I had not used it before; Shortcuts for speed and efficiency and using excel for charts for presentation.
I’d definitely recommend it to a colleague. It was excellent, I really enjoyed it.
The three main things that I learnt were formatting table columns, building blocks and track changes. I learnt lots of tips today – I thought I knew a lot but got so much out of the course and would recommend to others.
If you need basic training or a brush up on your knowledge then this course would suit you. Overall a very good training session and was not too draining. The trainer had good knowledge of the subject and has taught us more efficient ways to use Excel.
Very well run course building on existing knowledge as well as learning new shortcuts, more efficient ways of operating and better ways to organise my workspace. Would recommend the course to anyone who uses excel frequently.
Unless they work in ‘IT’ most people’s knowledge of Microsoft Office software is ‘bits and pieces’ they pick up that are relevant to their job. I came on the course hoping to fill in gaps in my knowledge. To a certain extent, I’ve achieved this.
Yes, the course was excellent, well detailed and has made me feel more confident about using excel.
Very good lots of training what will really help me.
Go ahead, this course is well worth while. I have learnt about Pivot Tables, Graphs and using functions.
Without a doubt the 3 main things I’ve learnt today are the ability to create a spread sheet from scratch, a personalised tool bar & short cut to save time. I have enjoyed the course today learned more to take forward. I will recommend the course to others within Stairways. It was excellent, I really enjoyed it and it was extremely relevant.
Fantastic course, very interesting and informative.
The main thing I learnt was shortcuts. The Training course was good but I do most of the topics, a more advanced course would have been more useful.
Really enjoyed it and learnt a lot, I thought our instructor was both informative and very patient, I will go away and put a lot of what I have learnt into action.
Thank-you
Everything I’ve learnt today I will be using at work. Definitely very good use of time, you learn loads that you can use in everyday things, not just for work.
I felt that there were quite a few of the more basic parts of Excel that I hadn’t been taught before included. Although I was expecting more training related to specific functions within Excel, I did find this very useful.
“In continuous improvement we primarily focus on manufacturing activities but it is equally as important that administration tasks can be done as efficiently as possible. By training our employees on excel this has started to be accomplished.The training that Karen has provided has benefited all the participants immensely and the feedback has been exceptional.”
I learnt how to navigate Excel, how to turn tables into charts and the use of formatting etc. and possibilities. Very steady pace, well delivered, nice ‘chunks’ of information to learn from.
Very practical and very useful – but opens up opportunities which there’s no time to explore (But that’s a compliment!)
Great coverage of topics some of which were quite deep and I could have done with more time. The 3 most useful things I learnt were – Many shortcuts highlighted; Flash Fill; Data Validation;
Great day, really useful tips and hints which will help me create more impactful presentations as well as some general Microsoft hints and tips. The 3 main things I’ve learnt today were:- How to save time and shortcuts; Simplifying presentations and some presentation tips.
Great picture editing tips
Definitely recommend this course even if you think you know the basics. I have learnt lots of new ways of using excel and lots of useful tricks.
Very enjoyable and very relevant.
None given
The three main things I have learnt are formatting, tables and Sum/Linking. Picked up some really useful things that I will be able to use when doing my job. Recommend the course.
I would advise other colleagues to take the course everyone I spoke to learned something new from it. The trainer was very good and went at everyone’s pace. The manual will doubtless be useful.
How to use my keyboard
I’m very happy with today’s course, I have learned a lot and I’m very happy to recommend.
The learning activity was extremely relevant to my job. I would definitely recommend it to my colleagues.
All of the shortcuts to assign to my QA toolbar – this will save time. Conditional formatting and formatting 3D. Working with charts and spark lines. The training has been great. Some things I went through I thought was very basic but its important to start from the beginning. I was surprised at how much I actually did learn on this course! Never underestimate the capabilities of Excel, I look forward to completing Level 2!
Good course, good teacher who explains things well. Afternoon session was a bit too fast paced.
Learned a lot Ð will probably not be hugely relevant in my role but still of some use and feel much more confident in excel.
The main things I learnt on this course were – Pivot tables;
Short cuts, in general these will speed up my use of excel and will help me navigate it more efficiently; Tables, Most of my work is analysing and creating tables for PowerPoint so that has been a great help.
Well worth it, I would like to go on the next course in the future to top up my existing skills and learn new skills that would help me at my job.
The main things I learnt were the Excel to processes form and auto sizing boxes. One thing I learnt will take me 10 minutes to do a task that previously has taken me 10 hours.
Karen was excellent. She explained everything fully and if you didn’t understand, she would stop the class and make sure you understood it before we moved on. The shortcuts that she taught will save so much time in my daily role. I would recommend the course to others, as it was very helpful.
What are the 3 main things you have learnt today and how will you integrate them into your work? Use of short cut keys; Use of pivot tables; Custom views. Will immediately find use for swimming club database and simplifying and making user friendly to others in the club to utilise. Excel can be a powerful tool and there are a lot of features that are not utilised normally. A case of knowing what features exist and what to look for. Attending the course will also enable you to work more effectively and change old habits.
The three main things I learnt were short cuts, copy and pasting and charts. You don’t realise how good Excel is!
I enjoyed today, it has been an eye opener about the potential of the software and how to use it properly, I would recommend this course to anyone who is involved in projects.
Very good. Enjoyed the course and fully recommend to others.
Exercises/topics were short and snappy which I enjoyed and kept my interest throughout. Good timings for the breaks the trainer was very friendly and helpful throughout.
Really good training I enjoyed and the teacher was amazing.
Very good and useful.
You should definitely go on the course, a lot of information is given which will benefit all types of roles. The most valuable things I learnt today were shortcuts, more knowledge about Pivots, and basic functionality.
Such a useful and relevant session to my job. Giving me some invaluable tips for saving time, but also made me aware of the different options and facilities available to facilitate my job. I learnt short cuts in preparing a sales report, conditioning formatting for presenting data better and graphing for sales reports.
I would definitely recommend the course to others, I have picked up skills and techniques that I will be able to put into immediate use tomorrow and in the years ahead.
It was fantastic, I will definitely recommend it to my colleagues.
None given
The trainer displayed very good knowledge on the subject and her ability to explain the product to us while keeping us actively involved and answering all questions fully was excellent. I really enjoyed the course and have now learnt more efficient ways to work using the shortcuts that she taught us. I am now far more equipped with the knowledge to produce charts from the data that we use.
Do it! It was excellent, really enjoyed it.
I enjoyed the training today, I have learnt a few more things I did not know which is always a help. I would recommend other to attend. Yes there were things I already knew but quite a few I did not. Once put into practice they will help me in me everyday.
Excellent learning materials. I will definitely recommend it to my colleagues.
I learnt about the use of visual graphics, using charts, and gained confidence in use of Excel. Location was off site – perfect. Course applicable to my role at work. Increased my level of knowledge of excel. Would be of benefit to all other staff. I would like to do the next sessions.
Excellent course that really shows you the untapped potential of software available to use to improve your job/role.
Very helpful and informative and relevant to my work
It was extremely relevant and I really enjoyed it. The course was well organised and covered some useful topics, and was very useful.
I’m now more confident using Charts in excel; The use of keyboard shortcuts will allow me to work more efficiently in excel; I have more knowledge of formula’s in excel.
Well worth attending, set at a good pace with relevant information and a relaxed atmosphere to help the learning. In particular I learnt how to use formulae in my spreadsheets, shortcuts and use of tables.
I would say that the training was really helpful and has furthered my knowledge of this subject even though some of it I had previously know before. I would tell others that this subject is a great way to learn the ins and outs of Excel and is a great way to get way more out of the software.
Very clearly presented
Good computers and learning materials
Easy to follow and useful to have the big screen to see what trainer is doing
Learnt a lot of useful tips, shortcuts and formatting ideas
Well structured with breaks
Would definitely recommend
I was really surprised with this course. It was an early start this morning to get there in time and it will be a late arrival home due to travel but what a fantastic day. It exceeded my expectations. Karen was extremely thorough and explained everything in a way that each of us could relate to, and if any of us required a bit of extra help she was extremely accommodating. Would definitely recommend this course for anybody having to use PowerPoint. Looking forward to Level 2!!
The main things I have learnt are shortcuts to save time, useful formatting – useful for printing and freeze panes – will make tables easier. I expected to know most of it due to doing similar things at University but I barely new any of it! It’s useful little tricks to save time and if I’d not done the basics course it would have made learning higher level Excel much harder! I would have liked to be able to make notes in the book as I went but it wasn’t given to us until the end.
The course is a great way to improve your excel knowledge, and being given the workbook to take away is a great way to ensure you don’t forget or help you to re-cap if you are not sure.
My only recommendation would be to quicken the pace of Guru’s.
I would advise anyone who has never taken an excel to do this course. You will see the benefit instantly. The simplest of things you learn can help you in more ways than one.
I really enjoyed my day on this course I have learnt a lot on excel and will recommend this to anyone who wants to learn my skills on excel and save more time in their work load.
Today I learnt how to create tables which I’ll use for Employee Data; Sorting Information I.E Capital letters, names into columns etc; Quick functions .
Really liked how patient the trainer was and how knowledgeable she was, liked her training style.
Enjoyed the pace of the course and the interaction.
Yes I would recommend this course for users who want to advance basic knowledge of excel.
A lot to learn and remember. As for telling others, fun and valuable course. Today I learnt about Bodmas, function buttons, and sums.
Very good course and useful to know the shortcuts as they will save me time in my day to day role using excel.
Definitely encourage others to participate in this course.
Trainer was very clear and precise when explaining each of the features we were discussing. Going through examples was also useful.
I learnt tables – day to day/lists/etc. charts – measuring performance in distribution and shortcuts. Very good. Would’ve liked to take away some material (guidebook/notes/electronic links) for future reference. Take notes!
I would definitely recommend Excel Secrets to people who have lost skills through non-usage over time and to introduce skills to untrained staff. I learnt lots of things to help me reduce time and allow me to get more done in my day. I now understand things that I didn’t understand in Excel, allowing me to be able to do more. I have also been able to refresh things that I learned years ago but had forgotten over the passage of time which now helps me work smarter.
Excellent, very useful 100% recommend.
Very helpful!! Learnt useful tips and shortcuts.
I thought that the training I received today was brilliantly translated and is extremely relevant to my workplace today. I found that having both the theory, being shown and practical element helped ensure that I learnt and fully understood the information provided. I would greatly encourage anyone thinking of attending one of these courses to attend.
I found the course to be very informative. I enjoyed refreshing my skills. I also feel that I am taking away some usable knowledge. I would recommend this course.
Good Course.
Excel is far more powerful than you can imagine. This course will speed up the way you analyse data 100 fold!
The three main things I have learnt are the concatenate formula – to merge 2 bits of data into 1 column, customise ribbon to save time and shortcut buttons on keyboard. To come on the course because you get a better understanding of what Excel can do and the shortcuts available to make using excel quicker and simpler.
Shortcut keys which I can use on a daily basis very good to know and much faster method. Pie charts and graphs. I feel very competent and at ease when using Excel.
It’s a great course and very helpful the trainer is very professional and has the relevant knowledge needed. Would highly recommend the course.
Very good course.
Yes, I will definitely recommend this course to my work colleagues. The most useful things I learnt were shortcuts for formatting, strikethrough and spell check.
Very good course. Very informative. A lot of new topics learnt that will increase productivity.
I undertook basic, intermediate and advanced training on the full suite of Microsoft Products with Karen and Imagine Training early on in my career. I can honestly say that the level of education they gave me, and the insight into the world of possibilities that this software (especially Excel) can unlock has helped me to get to where I am today. Choosing to do my IT training with Imagine literally changed my life for the better! Thanks!
The course was good, the trainer has tried to accommodate our courses to make more relevant to the work I am doing.
I would recommend this course to any of our colleagues that use Microsoft office.
I would tell the organiser to increase the volume of colleagues in our business that is going to these courses, as well pushing colleagues to go on more advance courses. It will be nothing but advantageous to our business.
The shortcuts will save time and I think that the take away manual will be a very useful tool to refer to in the future.
Would highly recommend on the basis that the tuition was of a very high standard. Everything explained clearly and feedback encouraged. Felt quite happy to ask questions where I felt I wanted to. The main things I learnt today were data validation, math and Statistical functions and recording/running macros, all of which I will look to use to streamline our processes.
Extremely informative and excellent information to refer back to.
The main three things I learnt were shortcuts in Excel, formatting and transpose. Course was very informative and Karen went at the pace of the class and was very helpful. Learning all the shortcuts has made me very happy 🙂 Thank you.
I learn advanced formatting, outlining and subtotals, templates and settings. All these will be used for monthly reports. Very enjoyable course that was delivered at an easy to follow speed. I would tell others that although you may not use a lot of Excel the course would be a benefit to most people.
It was good as I learnt new things that I didn’t know about before and I would recommend this course to others who are wanting to learn and adapt their excel skills, from a basic level.
Get training day, informative and a good basis to work from or as a refresher in excel. Lots of little hints and tips that will save you time. Nice environment to learn in.
The training was excellent and I would encourage my colleagues to attend this course.
The training will help to efficiently manage my time while doing reports in excel, and it will help with improvements in the reports.
Useful course for those with mid level knowledge. Really useful course for improving proficiency and efficiency. Allows you to simplify tables through naming conventions.
Probably needs to be run over a day and half to allow more time to cover the entire material, given that attendees all learn at differing speeds
I learnt some useful shortcuts and tables. Easy to understand – not intimidating, useful info.
Really good, at the right level for me, so found it interesting and will take new knowledge and use. I thought I had a thorough understanding of Pivot Tables, shortcuts and VLOOKUP. I learnt a lot that will support my job role and understand new functions on the Excel program.
I really enjoyed the session today and I have learnt a lot of very valuable techniques that will enable me to work more efficiently.
Very well thought out course, good speed of topic, well presented, thumbs up to the trainer. We learned all about Excel short keys, tables and charts and sums.
It was very good some very basic stuff such as Ctrl actions are very useful and saves me time. Towards the end there was still so much information to take in, that it was difficult to adjust.
Using shortcuts will save a lot of time when navigating around spreadsheets. Formatting is something I know little about so will help to make my date collections more specific and detailed. It was interesting and I have learnt a lot but I feel there were not enough practical exercises during the course and not enough time spent on each section. It is a lot of information to take in and Karen did a great job of simplifying it for me but I learn better doing and can’t see that I will have time at home to practice.
The training was excellent. I was not expecting to learn anything new today but I was surprised at just how many powerpoint shortcuts actually exist, when I had previously been taking the long route. I would suggest this course to relevant colleagues across the company, regardless of their level of competency. I believe the advanced courses may also be of use should the company decide to pursue them.
Difficult with lack of experience both with Visio and computers
Enjoyed day a little overwhelming at times but the trainer did a great job talking me through.
It was a good training, but it was a bit too much content in a short amount of time
Tables, shortcuts, charts. Could help with weekly reporting. Very informative.
Good. Good to get to grips with the programme – good team building aspects. Karen was very nice and her training helped.
Even as an experienced user of Excel, you will learn some features and tips & tricks that will provide a benefit to your use of the package day to day. I learned some useful shortcuts that will improve my use of Excel, new functions that I had not known about and practised some useful features that I will be able to use in my everyday work to benefit my productivity.
The course has been useful as it has shown me:
1. Short cuts & Quick excess
2.in excel how to format cells much easier!
3. SmartArt and how to animate the points
Well worthwhile course, I’ve learnt lots and enjoyed it. Thank you
Excellent trainer and very good course.
Very explanatory and builds on some simple fundamentals of Excel. Some very good time saving tips.
I felt the course was not as relevant to me as I thought it was going to be and also covered more complex parts of Excel than I thought it was going to. It teach me the massive capacity Excel has.
Karen was great and very helpful and patient and answered all my ‘daft’ questions.
For me the course was too heavy on formula and not on the basic setting up of a spreadsheet.
Very well executed, kept interest throughout the day. Would like to attend session 3.
Very good and would recommend to others
Really enjoyed the course, it was made specifically relevant to the work I undertake on a daily basis and I would recommend this course to those hoping to obtain a better understanding of excel 2016
Good experience, good variation on topics. Potentially for colleagues it would be good to touch on pivot basics (this may be covered on another level). Would recommend this course to all colleagues utilising excel, has the potential to make everybody more
Well worth the time consolidating a basis to build on.
If the basic level was appropriate for the individual I would recommend attending. I found the course very informative and helped to improve my confidence on excel, I just need to use the information and remember the shortcuts etc.
The training was interesting and useful, particularly as the trainer explained tips and ways to incorporate the training in relation to our workplace. Any questions asked were answered and the trainer provided knowledge outside the specified learning material relative to current activities we were doing in the business.
Good for knowing about all the relevant function keys and shortcuts.
Yes, definitely would recommend.
Lots of hints and tips to help me at work and at home.
I learnt a lot despite using the software on a daily basis
3 most effective things I’ve learnt were Shortcuts, Customising toolbars/ribbons and Formulas. Excellent training course which I thoroughly enjoyed. Really useful having individual laptops to participate interactively in the training course. Would like to look at some areas in more detail. Look forward to the advanced.
I really enjoyed the training it was interactive enough and the trainer was happy to repeat things when needed. I would be happy to do level 2 as I feel I would learn more from it.
Very good. Right amount of information provided
It was well-organised. Karen is clearly passionate about the subject and about helping people to work more efficiently, and this shines through. I was a little nervous before the course, but I would tell others that there is no need to be as it starts steady and there is a friendly atmosphere where you can ask for help. Thank you!
Very clear information given. Gladly recommend.
Very good course and very informative. I would recommend it fully to others, worthwhile to put all staff through this training.
Very good training, highly recommeded.
The course was excellent it gives all basic foundations needed to start building Dashboards.
The room (at our site) was not suitable, got too hot. Was too bright and screen wasn’t clear. Had to keep turning around to follow instructions. Content was more than expected.
It’s a must, really worth while doing as it will only make life easier!
I was very impressed by the content and the trainer. It was very enjoyable and informative.
I haven’t been in a course like this in a while. Really enjoyed and I learn alot of new things. I will recommend the course to other people for sure!
Shortcuts, formatting & Charts. Shortcuts I will use all the time the others wont be used every day but will be very handy as and when.
Very helpful course will/would recommend to anyone.
I would definitely recommend this to other people who use or would like to start using Visio. I’ve found the training very helpful, I’ve learned new things and will save me a lot of productivity time.
I’ve learnt the ease of creating floor plans, I use Visio to create floor plans but because I never had training on how to do it, it took me a long time to create simple layouts.
How to create different types of timelines, This is useful for documenting projects.
How to create network/application diagrams, This is invaluable for to document our server and network infrastructure.
Keyboard shortcuts.
The trainer is very clear in her explanation and can carry forward the training in an efficient and concise manner.
I have learnt shortcuts and more efficient ways to use them, how to use tables and slicers to manipulate data and how to use Pivot Charts to display data. I would recommend that the course be more specific to Foxs Biscuits, maybe use the reports we use to demonstrate new ways of streamlining them and manipulating them so it feels more relevant to the data we use.
Karen was excellent, course was excellent, will recommend without doubt.
My experience has been very enjoyable. It enabled me to learn at my speed.
The tutor makes sure everyone has got it, before moving on, which is refreshing.
The course is well worth it for many employees.
The trainer and course material were very good. I learnt a lot of thing I didn’t know, even though I have used Excel for years; which is really good.
The trainer was very passionate with a lot of knowledge on the subject.
I would recommend the course to others.
I think this course is essential for anyone that wants to brush up on their excel skills and even have better knowledge of the program itself. I had excel courses in colleges, however they weren’t this career specific which is nice to be able to obtain better skills in the work place.
Pivot Tables (Thank you!!) Macros and Buttons. Data Tables. Great learning tool, taught me lots that I needed to know!
How to use formulas correctly. How to create charts correctly and how to format information. I found the information extremely useful, easy to understand and would recommend the course to anyone. Excellent!
The training was extremely helpful, covered a lot of things I was struggling with and was taught in depth. I would tell other that they must do this course!
Great course – Do it! Thank you for your patience.
All of the day was very good. My first time in Excel. It was very good.
The course was pitched at the right level, very happy with instruction. Would advise anyone with low level of skill on MS Excel to do this course to avoid getting bad habits from self teaching.
It has been absolutely brilliant, very insightful and a great positive attitude from the trainer, also a lot of patience! She was very efficient and made the course fun! The 3 main things I learnt today were:-
– Creating and using pivot tables. I will use these in my work when trying to analyse and interpret large sets of data.
– Protection/security measures, I will use these on spreadsheets that I would like to not be modified and ensure strong passwords are set.
– Shortcut for Creating a chart of the data, I will use this for my own performance analysis at work.
I found the course really useful and will help take my excel spreadsheets to the next level. Karen was very clear in her explaining and running through the modules. Lots of shortcuts were shown, would have preferred using more of quick access and ribbons rather than just keyboard shortcuts. I will definitely benefit from having attended today.
Very interesting and informative introduction to the Excel programs.
I would defiantly recommend the course to others.
Training was interesting and very informative.
Covered a couple of topics which is extremely helpful
Very good session – it was extremely relevant to my job. Most useful was learning Windows 10, OneNote functions and interaction between files.

Very clear, enjoyable. Gained confidence in using software, very relevant to my role. Short cuts FAB!!
Generally given me more confidence to try new and explore new things

The three main things I have learnt are VLookUp, Pivot Tables and shortcuts. I enjoyed my day and found it really helpful and interesting. I would advise colleagues to do the course as you can see how each topic will help in your own job role.
I learnt to prepare/know where to start before you push a button, how much time can be saved using shortcuts and to be brutal with your computer (you won’t break it if you experiment). Karen knows her subject very well, good teacher, very patient. Everyone will learn from this course, you will be better at your job once taught.
Everything was explained clearly and we were given the opportunity to ask questions at any time, not just at the end of the course which was very helpful.
The course and training was excellent.
Karen was top class.
The training delivered was specific for our shortfall in skills required for job.
The course was excellent, the trainer was very pleasant and she has a lot of knowledge.
I would definitely recommend this course. It would be helpful to learn more and do your jobs well.
I would 100% be telling everyone about the course in and outside the business, using the prompt cards at the end of the session really helped also in re-capping what has been learnt.
Short Cuts, this will be extremely beneficial when working on excel all day.
Conditional Formatting- Didn’t know what this was even used for and now will become a great help in different reports and findings.
Definitely worth attending the course, bring back things you may have forgot in the past which were useful in preparing for a presentation.
Great hands on experience working through the exercises especially the shortcuts. I will now try to produce spreadsheets for myself instead of asking others to do them for me.
The course was excellent! It really helps to explain how and why you do things. Before I just did them but did not know the reason behind them. I will be more confident when using Excel now, as before when using formulas I used to panic. Really happy with the shortcuts I learned, will really save me time.
I have enjoyed the course and will recommend to my other colleagues.
I now have a better understanding of how Excel spreadsheets work, how to make a spreadsheet work for me to make my job easier and a better understanding of formulas.
The three main things I have learnt are shortcuts, how to use formulae and graphs. I think it’s helpful. Some areas I will need and use more than other areas.
Found it very useful; the right amount of time was spent on each section and answered everyone’s questions. I am excited to learn more about Excel as can really see the benefit in saving time in my working day.
Excellent really enjoyed the training course will encourage other people to use the course
Excellent course, lots of easy short cuts to apply to different scenarios. Perfect for organising and presenting data in a professional & clear format. I would highly recommend.

Have just competed the level 2 excel Ninja course, Karen was an excellent trainer, and knew all the content inside out, I would now like to move on to the next level as soon as possible, but only with this company, and Karen of course
Really enjoyed the course. I see where I need to Improve and where was my weak places. This session has helped me a lot.
Contained the topics I require. Every ‘subject’ was very valuable in my role. Clearly explained to the whole class for every ability in it. Strong guidance to ensure all learnings covered today. Quick wins detailed clearly and why valuable. Very pleasant day. Thank you 🙂
It was really useful, filled with key information that will help me with day-to-day tasks, mainly with time saving being able to use short keys
I would definitely recommend my colleagues attending the course as there are always functions that you do not use daily which could become useful.
This course would be a good starting point for beginners.
Good way to start as beginner to excel, and also highlight some extra points if using excel at a basic level. I’ve learnt short cuts previously unknown, correct terminology, and more tools within excel.
1. Relevant to day job and very useful to save time and increase the quality of my presentations. 2. Do the course. It will save time preparing presentations and make the presentations more interesting. The short cuts are excellent. 3. Brilliant course thankyou at the right pace and relevant.
I learnt how to conditional format, create tables and charts to visualise data without drawling through numbers. I really enjoyed the training and wish I had this training 2 years ago as I can clearly see where I will save time creating reports etc.
The content of the course and the timetable was clear, with achievable targets set and completed. Very useful and easy to understand examples.
Difficult subject made very accessible. Excellent course notes. Good follow up.
The main things that I learnt were use of formulae and breaking down a problem to write the appropriate formulae. All course content was good however I feel it was biased towards finance. This may be something agreed at course set up? Perhaps some content of Level 2 course would be more relevant. I would recommend the course.
Very good informative day. Thanks.
I THINK THE COURSE WAS informative AND HELPFUL. I WOULD TELL PEOPLE EVEN IF YOU HAVE A GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF EXCEL, I AM SURE THERE ARE TIPS YOU CAN PICK UP.
Even if you think you have all the knowledge you need to do your job, there is always something new you will pick up. I have learnt a lot today that I hope to use in the future. Group of six was ideal as we had trainees attention individually when required.
Top 3 things I learnt were Tables, Date, and setting up groups & Formulas.
MY TRAINING GOOD TODAY, I AM LERAN A LOT OF THING

I found it very enjoyable and easy to understand so its well worth coming along to learn.
Nick left at lunchtime and could not return due to work issues. If we run another he can attend of charge.
Definitely recommend this course. Although I work with spreadsheets this was most helpful in learning quicker methods and commands I was not familiar with
I gained understanding of pivot tables, using formatting to save time and 3D formatting. The course re-freshed my Excel knowledge plus I learnt new stuff which I didn’t know that will help me day to day with my work.
I really enjoyed it as I was able to learn new ways of working on Excel that fit in with my day to day tasks.
I would recommend that this course was taken to be able to get the most out of the software and make it easier to use excel.
Very good course, recommended.
I would tell others to go onto the course, learn the information, go away and apply it to your work, reports etc and maybe do it again in a couple of years to refresh.
Karen provides top class training in a fun and friendly way. Her training has improved the skill level and productivity of my team immensely.
It is well worth doing this course, it helps a lot with Excel. I learnt about shortcuts, shifting sheets around and formulating. I really enjoyed the course and feel more confident using the software, would definitely recommend the course to my colleague
I only had a small amount of excel knowledge so today will help me lots in my accounts role.
I’ve learnt lots of information on short cuts within excel. How to modify spreadsheets which are all very useful. Thank you

Really helpful and I felt involved.
Training will improve efficiency and speed of work.
Thank you for an interesting and informative course, I would highly recommend anyone using excel on a daily basis to attend this course, Karen was thorough and helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Maybe more opportunity to go over the activities to help digest the instructions (my age!)
Good to me
I really enjoyed the training, I felt that it was tailored to my level so I wasn’t sat around re hashing stuff I already knew but in the same token I wasn’t massively out of my depth and constantly lost.
I would definitely recommend this to colleagues and am keen to attend more advanced courses going forward. The trainer was very approachable and friendly and made you feel like there were no stupid questions
I thought that the excel training today will be extremely valuable for future Excel usage.
I would recommend this to my colleagues who use Excel on a daily basis and struggle with the basics of Excel.
It was good, I would recommend to others. It cemented things in that I sort of already knew, but I am now a lot more confident.
Very good use of a days training away from the office, will pay back the time spend within the week!
The three main things I have learnt are how to freeze and hide parts of spreadsheets, use charts and about different function keys to speed up actions. This course was good for me. I am glad I started at Level 1 as things have changed over the years, so a refresh was good. I now need to use the actions more regularly to enable me to remember them.
Very informative, extending my basic day to day knowledge of excel – I should now be able to work more efficiently.
The course was excellent. I feel that all the content was useful and I look forward to applying it to my job. The course was delivered very well and it was always engaging. Some shortcuts however are unnecessary and you would spend more time remembering the key combinations than simply clicking what you need.
Good quality practical training in which I was able to apply my learning to actual tasks. My knowledge was broadened into what I can do every day.
The three main things I have learnt are short cuts for using basic formulae in tables, quick ways to format tables and different ways to create charts to represent data. Very informative and effective in labour saving. Definitely worth undergoing for finding out about the untold secrets that aren’t mentioned during office time.
I know that when I apply the new tools I have learnt it will be very powerful!
Creating lists and templates have been a really helpful subject to learn. These points should help to save time significantly in my daily work. Also, the short cuts for example CTRL-W to close a workbook and being able to customize the excel ribbon should save a lot of time.
The training experience was incredibly useful and I would highly recommend the course to colleagues. The trainer was really friendly and approachable.
The most important things I learnt today were:- Eight really useful shortcuts (Alt / Ctrl); The importance of using data in tables; Pivot table refresher.
I will actively encourage people in HR & payroll departments to undertake similar learning.
The 3 main things I learnt today were shortcuts for a large amount of controls, custom formatting for data and pivot tables. The training day was good, the shortcuts were very useful and I gained a good understanding. However, I feel I wanted to learn more which may be on Level 3, I would be keen to try that.
The training experience was good, really detailed and engaging. I learnt a lot and I would recommend this course to people who want to expand on their Excel skills. The keyboard short cuts are great and will really help improve shorten my time on a subject when using Excel. I also found the formulas really interesting and I will use this to work out my sales at work as well as at home.
The three main things I have learnt are dashboards, slicer – pivot tables, and shortcuts. The course was good and practical, some useful tips for management of dashboards. I can think of some directly relevant applications for this training.
Handy short cuts Photo edits Formatting
Very well presented. I had a pleasant surprise in that I enjoyed it!
No problems with the training, but some of the survey answers could have a better range. For example the one about relevancy needs an answer somewhere in the middle.
This is an excellent course even for people who have been using Excel for a period of time, you are bound to learn something of value!
Well worth doing and I will be looking at sending colleagues who use Excel. I have been using spreadsheets for the past 33 years and found learning the short cuts to be invaluable for time saving in my job.
The main things I learnt were IF Statements, Goal Seek functions and Macros, which will improve data sorting and analysis. It was a good overview at the required level.
As a result of today’s SharePoint Owner training I will do it. I learnt the SharePoint basics, a selection of SharePoint functionality and how to build a SharePoint Site. So now I just need to do it.
The three main things that I learnt were quick shortcuts for use across excel and all Microsoft products, custom tables, filters/data sorting and pivot tables. A great course to help expand your knowledge if you use excel on a daily basis. It gave me lots of ideas for making my everyday tables easier and also creating more spreadsheets to improve other areas of my work.
Good balance of information and activity – a little more time to practice would be good! Not too advanced – level was correct for what was needed.
The experience was great with fun and interesting examples. Would definitely suggest it to other colleagues in the field.
I found it quite engaging and would actively encourage anyone with even a passing use of Excel to attend a course as it would certainly encourage better habits and more effective use of time.
How to do sums. How to take data from one sheet to another and use continuous dates.
Very enjoyable, has helped me a lot to understand the basics and shortcuts I never knew existed.
I found this course to be an excellent insight in to the first steps of Excel. It was extremely relevant to my job and I was able to ask as many questions as I needed. It has taught me some very useful keyboard shortcuts and given me the confidence not to panic if I press something wrong.
An excellent course, well presented and informative. Only issue, it would have been nice to have a longer course!
The three main things I have learnt are how to create pivot tables, using passwords and finding errors. Knowing shortcuts will save loads of time! It all makes perfect sense and now Excel is no longer scary!
The course was very enjoyable, and I felt it was extremely relevant to my job. I have learnt my way around a computer and all about tables and sketches. I would definitely recommend it.
I would recommend this to everyone who needs it. From today’s course I would use the following to analyse material variances, forecasting, and Labour analysis:- Pivot tables; Outline; Name ranges
Excellent training overall!
Great! Covered a lot of areas and plenty of scope to practice further.
Very informative and well explained. Would have preferred a 2 day course in order to fully explore what was being taught.
In my opinion this course was extremely helpful, it showed many ways of operating Excel in more efficient ways and a whole new range of tools to use to improve working standards. I believe this will make any work I do using excel look more professional. I would definitely recommend to other colleagues, especially those working in an office environment.
I found the course very informative and useful. I feel more confident in using Excel to manipulate data in the most way for my job.
A lot to learn and it needs a lot of concentration. As for what to tell others, leave your pride at home and take whatever is relevant to you.
What I found to be the key benefits of the course:-
It is Interactive
No question is a stupid question.
Easy to relate to everyday use.
Refresh your memory with the textbook and handouts given on the day.
The main things I learnt were use of ctrl buttons, function buttons, and where to find margins.
I learn how to simplify some of the data, about tables and charts and Shortcuts. Wish I had signed up for Word training now as this was so good. Could have done with doing the Level 1 first but good that Karen covered the bits we needed anyway. Very enjoyable. Thank you.
Very enjoyable and hope it will help in my work. And the tutor explained things very well.
It was a really good interactive session, plenty of comfort breaks at the right times to re-energise. Karen is very easy to work with, approachable, friendly and very clear and concise in her training. Lots to learn in the session and all very valuable, I look forward to getting on the next course to learn even more and assist me in my everyday tasks.
The tutor understands we have different abilities and makes you feel comfortable. I believe the shortcuts are available to show others. I learnt how to put my work in better order for other Managers to understand, how to make basic formulas and what the symbols are and that it isn’t as scary as first thought.
It was excellent, extremely relevant to my job and I’d definitely recommend it to my colleagues.
Would definitely recommend, even for confident users, some really useful tips.
Trainer was very insightful in all Microsoft packages.
Was not expecting it to be as interesting!!
The shortcuts are brilliant, will save hours
Printing & charts were especially useful
Adding autocorrect options will also save me a lot of time!

If you require basic knowledge of Excel, I’d recommend trying out this course!
I learnt :-
1. Understanding the options available to me in the software.
2. Ability to enter and format data in Excel.
3. How to use basic formulas
This training will definitely make my life easier in my job on the day to day tasks. It’s going to be a lot quicker and more sufficient using the skills I have learned today. I will recommend the course to my colleagues. I learnt about the correct use of formulas, data translation in pie charts and how to save documents, access documents and how to use shortcuts.
Very good. Clear concise information. Learnt a lot, well worth doing!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the day. It was well paced and very interesting, and I have learnt a lot about how to use excel properly. I would absolutely recommend this course to others for more advanced data handling. The most useful things were Advanced functions and formulas, Analytical tools, Macros.
Very enjoyable and I have learnt a lot. Essential if using Excel at work or home.
Yes, I thought it was going to be very basic due to it being number 1 however found I learnt what I was missing in my knowledge
I would actively encourage people to attend the course. I thought I might have been more advanced than the Excel Secrets course but I found lots of really useful information that could be used on a daily basis.
Really informative, will definitely be able to use in everyday work environment as majority of my work involves spreadsheets and data analysis. Most useful Scenarios, Will be able to use for different versions of the Budget by changing Sales and COGS data
I think the training was very good, but it duplicated a lot of things I already knew This was however not a reflection on the course nor the teacher, just thought I needed to start from the beginning in Excel so I would not have any knowledge gaps later on. Look forward to continuing with the ninja and guru courses with a solid base knowledge from this course.
Thanks Jolie
The room (at our site) was not ideally suited to computer training – not facing trainer & very stuffy. Not a criticism of trainer but of organisation of facility by SSH.
I would recommend this course to anybody who wants to learn more excel I think it will help me doing my job.
The instructor and materials were excellent and the topics were well covered. Lots of valuable information and tips.
My feedback isn’t a negative reflection of the course, I just needed the next step up, but it was useful to formalise my self taught knowledge, and fill in some of the blanks.
The training was at a slow enough pace to understand each subject but covered a large amount of information. If someone was not that familiar with excel, then it would be an excellent course to start with.
Clearly communicated. Trainer allowed for all levels of knowledge/experience.
Excellent training session really enjoyed it.
This training course in my opinion, would be beneficial for people starting out in Customer Services. The course has given me tips on how to further my training, although bespoke this to the company’s needs.
Thought the course was great and very educational, so much to learn but trainer is patient and encourages everyone to progress at the same pace.
I learnt shortcuts to save time, tables and conditional formatting. I enjoyed this course because it was very informative and easy to understand. It was delivered very well and kept the interest of all the delegates considering they all have different levels of knowledge.
I believe this course is very worth while. It has helped me extreme amounts. I would tell others about this as it is a great way to learn the basics of using excel. I would tell them to take into account all that has been shared with us. I learnt quicker ways to arrange data in order; I also learnt how to spell check in one movement; I also learnt how to make charts.
The three main things I learnt are inserting data – functions, Concatenate and sorting tips. Marvellous!!
The trainer’s ability to explain the information was excellent, we were actively involved from start to finish and any questions were answered fully. A very good experience that would benefit many of my colleagues.
Very good would recommend to anyone.
It is an informative course will a lot of information, mainly short cuts which saves a lot of time.
This has been very informative and enjoyable. I would encourage others to take this course.
Karen made the training day very understandable and fun.
The three main things I have learnt are the short cut keys, advanced filters and outlining with custom views. Extremely useful and relevant delivery.
Very useful, clear and effective. I can take these skills with me into work. I was encouraged to apply to my one working situations which helps demonstrate usefulness of each section, would definitely recommend to others!
Most useful was the shortcuts and cheat sheets.
Course was excellent, unfortunately the shift pattern did not allow 100% concentration due to 5 am start. Need to go away and spend time reviewing current spreadsheets.
Really interesting, so much useful information learned.
I learnt Pivot Tables, charts/formats and short cuts. Excellent trainer, learning to everyone’s level, took time out to make sure we all understood. give it a go.
I thought the training session was good, the location and room was brilliant, as was today’s trainer.
I feel like this course was very useful with the role I have in operations at Smart fleet solutions. I would recommend this course to anyone that works in my department. The most useful things I learnt were Shortcuts when using Excel; How to create a chart; How to use auto sum when handling data.
Excel Ninjas is very useful for time saving work tips. I will integrate into my work, Pivot Tables and the data organisation and the shortcuts are useful.
Training was insightful but we were unable to do some of the things in the lesson due to permissions which were not able to be set up as our info being on the network. However I learnt the basic knowledge of navigating around SharePoint, how to upload files and adding data to SharePoint. I will be able to integrate these things into my work by creating and owning SharePoints in my role as a Systems Analyst and during various tasks during the MI project.
The training was clear and concise and I have mainly taken away from today page editing.
Really good interactive course which encourages participation. All topics are relevant to my work. I gained knowledge in
Protecting Work Sheets / File
Advance Filter
Remove Duplicate
Very informative and will certainly incorporate some the content into my everyday working practices!! Thank you!
I likes the shortcuts – save a lot of time, I also learnt how to set up a pivot table – for which I have a specific project in mind this would help me with, and quick access tool bar – very useful. Trainer was great. Shame we had no books to take away with us. Abilities in the class were very varied – for me it was going too slow but trainer was good at supporting.
Could possibly have had a little more time as this course was a two day done in one. I now feel confident going forward.
This course is great!! A lot of useful things to learn and the teacher is very flexible and understanding on the learners needs.
What are the 3 main things you have learnt today and how will you integrate them into your work?
The shortcuts will help me to safe the time.

Fantastic course, the trainer Karen was excellent and very engaging, I really enjoyed the course and feel this will help me massively in my day to day work!
I think this course really would help you to save time and money in your business.
I learnt about Pivot tables and what we could do with them;
Ways in which we can use the functions of formatting in excel to do things rather than doing horrible formulas and little tips and tricks that can help me save time every day!
I think the training experience was very good. It useful for not only an introduction to the functions but also as a refresher and think that even seasoned excel users may find some of the tips useful. I would recommend colleagues to take this course.
If possible it would be interesting to use in house data and see examples of the tools used on these to see how we could implement some of the functions.
Very informative. I have learned shortcuts, how to make Charts and use pictures in Excel! It was interesting and makes me want to learn more. These will be used to make my work more interesting and to help me with analysing data.
Leant a lot of small things which will help improve my day to day efficiency. Even If you think you already know all the criteria covered on this level of course, take part! There will be lots of alternative methods to the ones you currently use.
Excellent training session.
The experience was very good. My job role at this moment in time does not involve excel but it has definitely brightened my basic knowledge and gone on into more depth so it will be useful at some point. The organiser was very good and covered everything.
Keyboard shortcuts – use them instead of using mouse constantly. Speak – use this when doing Direct Debiting on internet rather than creating spreadsheet. Brilliant – thoroughly encourage others.
I would encourage any employees within the business who use Excel to do this training. I learnt how to create formulas when generating spreadsheets, charts and data that are user friendly and easy when doing presentations and lots of short cuts!
The main things I have learnt are Tabs/Tables – letter writing Navigation keys – quick access (set up) and Show/hide key and good for document work. Too many to mention – fantastic! Excellent course materials. Pace and good knowledge around subject matter. Great tips for quick access – very good. Great Level 1 training. Needs well met, thank you.
Excellent will be rolling out elsewhere in the business
Found the training excellent. Karen was very understanding and so helpful. There was so many useful tools that Karen has taught me that I will use on a daily basis. Saving a PDF on email using the email as PDF attachment brought a smile to my face and know I will be using this form starting today.
Well presented course. lots of useful information.
Well worth doing for any Project Engineer/ Production Engineer
The training given was thorough – one day didn’t seem long enough to convey everything about Excel.
The main three things I learnt were short cuts, time saving and lots more in general. Well worth the while, definitely learnt new things.
Really enjoyed the course. Got some ideas for new sheets at work.
The three main things that I learnt were keyboard shortcuts, Absolute references and adding common elements to Quick Access Toolbar. All above will be implemented and utilised as soon as back at workstation! A clear, concise introduction to Excel filling in the blanks of self-education. Learnt many useful tips and techniques to save time, money and frustration.

Shortcuts, efficiency with time saving
Excellently delivered by Karen, very informative, useful tips, hints, etc.
Only one minor negative things felt it was rushed towards the end but hopefully, can glean extra info from the booklet, etc.

Useful tips to add to existing knowledge.
I would strongly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn Excel.

I learnt how pivot charts will be useful in my job role. Gave me more confidence in Excel.
Think the course is good and is a valuable tool for people to as it can help in work and in everyday life as well. I learnt to do charts, formulas and many shortcuts to save time.
The three main things I have learnt are using ” ” for text into SUM ifs – now I just need to replace text with numbers, Ctrl 8 – saves time grouping values and Alt NV – saves time creating pivots. This training is imperative for financial personnel to ensure data security as well as saving time.
Excellent course, Karen was thoroughly engaging and made the atmosphere pleasant and relaxed. Excellent time management with breaks and was able to feel refreshed with coffee breaks accompanied by chocolate treats. The course has further my knowledge and understanding I will definitely be back to complete the next training modules to supplement and further my capabilities regarding excel.
My 3 favourite things are:-
Shortcuts
Formula
Data manipulation
Defiantly worth doing, would recommend this course and trainer to others.

Working quicker by all the short cuts;
Publishing docs to PDF and quick access bar will be helpful.

Not being a very IT person it will help me be more efficient and professional. My favourite bits were:-
Using a shortcut Key to create a chart
Finding out all the different shortcuts
How to put data in order
A lot of time can be saved by practising the shortcuts and techniques taught on today’s training course. Do this course!!
good course, maybe more time could be given on actual practical but clear explanation given, could have done with a bit more time to take notes to what was relevant to myself as felt rushed at times. Trainer was very good but did feel pushed for time.
I 100% recommend this course!
The three main things I have learnt are Macros, shortcuts and large complex formulae. Training was excellent and was really useful. I learnt a lot of new processes that Excel can do which will save me a huge amount of time.
Great experience. Patient trainer. Shame the technology was not set up in time to start at the course at the start time (not the trainers fault, more site support needed)
Very good course come with the questions and issues you have.
What are the 3 main things I have learnt today are Short cut and Jump keys for speed of data management, Chart options and limitations and how to deal with problems. Also I found Options within Pivot tables useful.
I feel I could have done a 1.5 course rather than jumping straight to the level 2, I now have a far better understanding of various functions but could still do with knowing some of the basics. I would highly recommend others to do the course,
I have learnt a lot today that I never knew before. I will feel more confident in my own excel skills and will look to learn more in the future.
I learnt how to formulate charts, how to access data files by shortcuts and how to disseminate chart data. Very well presented course, probably a bit above my level and required more time to fully understand the subject matter. Great for Intermediate Excel users.

It is a very enjoyable course that would benefit anyone who uses Excel. I learnt lots of shortcuts, how to create pivot tables and how to manipulate tables.
Really positive experience. I feel that I have learned a lot today and look forward to putting the skills in to practice. It would have been beneficial to have done this course, and perhaps also PowerPoint course skills much earlier in my time at ABP (now ten months in Ð would have been fantastic to have learned some of these skills, especially where presentations are concerned, much earlier). Encouraged and more confident in my abilities going forward. Hope to come back to do higher levels. I am currently working on a project for which I am using Excel to keep track of progress. These skills will help me to better manage the data and utilise Excel better to its potential.
The three main things I have learnt are shortcut functions, pivot charts and templates. I feel I’ve gained a lot of Excel knowledge that I will be able to integrate into my day to day Excel use. Would like to learn more on Macros as I feel these could help me with the type of spreadsheet I use.

Some of it is basic- but then it builds up to the more advanced levels. It works at an excellent pace so that more complex tools/processes are made simple. I will use some of the tools to make my work more efficient. Mainly it helps with data manipulation and table forming, which is relevant in my job as I handle lots of data Dumps. I look forward to the next session which I hope covers more formulas and advanced commands but this session definitely filled in my knowledge gaps on the latest excel program.
The course was very interesting. I wrongly assumed I knew what I needed to know about Word but walked away with much more knowledge than I anticipated.
More interesting than I thought it would be. Some parts very beneficial. Shortcuts particularly useful. I would recommend this course to others. I would spend slightly longer on tasks and categorising.
The three main things I have learnt are charts, printing methods, and shortcuts – and lots more! A very informative and interesting day. Lots to take away and practice with. Thank you very much. Hope to be back for the intermediate course.

Very good for my own personal development and personal interest. Examples of things I have learnt which will be useful for my job role: formatting tables, templates, templates, short cuts, hyperlinks, comments on cells. I will take away all I have learnt for the future and may try and set up my own little Microsoft Project Level 1s to improve and practice. Amazed at what Excel Level 2 can do.

It was excellent. I look forward to doing the refresher course.
Excellent, very thorough and happy to answer questions through the course. A nice steady pace going through it all enabling everyone to stay on track with the learning. Those who were a little more confident or where using parts of the information on today’s course were told extra bits of information to help them personally within their job role.
Thankyou for such an informativesession and going the extra mile to help and make sure we understood exactly what was being asked for.
Course pitched at the right level, left wanting to learn more. Not as lacking in knowledge as I first thought.

I think the training was really helpful. The shortcuts will help a lot within all aspects of my work. I enjoyed the course and would recommend to anyone else wanting to participate.
Lots of time is spent on each section can be good but can also be a tad slow. I did learn lots of things I didn’t know and was able to make lots of good notes that will be of help.
Lots of information given
Appropriate amount of time given to each topic area
Karen was very supportive when errors or problems occurred throughout the class
Great experience, learnt a lot about Shortcuts, filters and conditional formatting. All questions were answered fully and to my satisfaction. Went from hating Excel to quite liking it! And will definitely be recommending to others.
Another very informative and useful training, I would recommend to my team.
There was insufficient time to link topics fully, I think further/longer sessions(s) would be required. (There were 2 delegates added to this course by the company who were at Level 1 so it took more time to teach the ‘gaps’). It would be good to work on live sessions from my actual work
It was very informative and engaging throughout. I would recommend the course as it not only increases your skills, it provides quick and fast shortcuts to make your work life easier. I now have a better understanding of Excel and as such my confidence is improving.
Very worthwhile course
My opinion is it was very helpful and I very happy with this course.
It was a very, very useful course, would recommend to everyone in a professional work environment that uses excel.
Overall the course was excellent. Very good training, perfect teacher, and learned a lot.

Best features for me were Macros, INDEX and MATCH formulas and Slicers, helping me to interrogate and present summaries more efficiently and effectively.
I will recommend that delegates ensure they are clear on what they want to achieve so they can ask specific questions and apply the knowledge directly.
Lovely course. Will suggest to anyone. I would like to get a part of any similar training of all MS OFFICE products like Word, PowerPoint etc.
I am going to take what I have learnt and experiment with a few ideas. Maybe a longer course so you can go into more detail.
Same thing for macros as this will save a lot of time.

Very helpful to people with little or no knowledge of Excel.
I know have some knowledge of excel. I’ll be able to create charts etc at work with data I’ve collected over each month. New skills learnt today will help with my career progression.
The excel secret is a basic beginner course, I do however feel it should not only be perceiver as the ‘’secrets’’ alone as it forms the basis of further development into next stages e.g. Ninja’s & Gurus, hence there are 2 suggestions here:
Probably issue study materials in advance of the course for students to get around prior to the real-life course.
Other alternative to above is having over 2 days and not 1-day. Overall, I am happy attending the course today and feel extremely more confident that I will be doing tasks right and in a timelier manner. I certainly will be getting on to the next stage.
I have really enjoyed the course and also learned new skills which I have never used before. The main thing I’m going to bring home with me is to push myself using short cut buttons more often.
None given

I knew enough to manage the course, but it was quite fast paced. Occasionally missed ‘next step’ instructions while doing an exercise. If someone was a real beginner, Karen may have to slow things down a little!

It was very helpful and will save me lots of time using all of the shortcuts learnt.

It is a fantastic course, if you are like me, a novice on excel, it is amazing what you can do on Excel. I learnt quicker ways of getting the same result, showing me how to work smarter and faster ways of checking the numbers are correct. I am just amazed at what you can do in Excel! If I can use 30% of what I have been shown, this will make a massive difference to my work.
Only down point there is so much information to take in, would love to cover the same information just a bit slower, but I am sure the more I use Excel, and play with the various things I have been shown, the better it will be.
Thank you.

My opinion is that it is very useful for people who work around excel daily, and is even useful for people who touch the program once a month. I would definitely recommend this to anyone working within the same business as me. I’d tell people who are about to do the course to make sure to be alert at all times and to make a lot of notes.
Fantastic well worth the time spent away from the desk to complete this will undoubtably save me more time on my day to day role allowing us to focus on other areas that require our attention.
On average I can spend a half day in preparation of a fortnightly conference call analysing data sent from customers I can easily halve this time going forward, and can present it in a format that can be more easily digested.
I’m really looking forward to undertaking the next level tomorrow and will look to achieve guru status!
I really enjoyed this Excel training. I learnt all the ctrl commands; How to use pie graphs and how to save time on work! Looking forward to the next session, Thanks!

The course was clear and easy to understand, with plenty of interaction. The trainer allowed time for plenty of time to do the practical.
: I genuinely encourage others to sit this course who do not have a clear indication of project management, I feel this given me new insight into building and maintaining a project from start to finish and I think would show others the process that go into a creating and managing a project. Nothing to tell the organiser as all aspect covered.
Excellent course. Felt it should have been longer as was so engaged. Would have been happy for it to have been a couple of days. Would definitely recommend & would definitely like to do the next level. My top 3 things were Shortcuts, tables – splitting, adding formulas, pie charts from tables, Advanced filters & being able to create ‘text’.
I plan to create my own macros to speed up my projects. Vlookup & Macros had the most impact as I use them on a daily basis.

I would definitely recommend to others who feel that they need their Excel skills improving.

Great course! can only be a benefit for my career.
The training was delivered in a clear and methodical manner. The course is relevant even if you have used excel for a long period
Good, hard to say if anything is missing as I need to go and use it. I like the cheat/short cut sheet, I think it would be good to have a print out of areas highlighted at the end of the course in case I missed anything in my notes.
The course was everything I expected having had a prior conversation with Karen about the route we wish to take at work. It was well run with clear information and had time for all levels, I Would highly recommend both the course and tutor.
Wish I had it in University to aid me with the spreadsheets I used in module assignments. Using one simple button instead of doing everything manually.
The three main things I have learnt are power pivot – looks like it will be very useful, some new short cuts – I already use these wherever I can so having “new” ones is great, and that I need to plan dashboards better. It has been extremely useful – reminded me of many things that I had forgot about, clarified and simplified ways of doing certain tasks and reminded me how much Excel can really do. I would tell others that it is well worthwhile.
I would tell them that it is worth the time to attend the courses

Sorting and filtering data in tables
Outlining data
Managing workbooks, freezing panes, speak buttons
These will make my life easier when working with matrices I use for tracking compliance training.
I thought I may be out of depth by not attending the Excel 1 Secrets training but this was not an issue as Karen highlighted the main points from the Secrets training. Karen is very knowledgeable and made training fun and interesting.
I had a great day, learnt loads and looking forward to using what I have learnt.
I found this training session really useful, especially the little tips I didn’t necessarily know which over a period of time will be saving me more time. I would tell users the course was very informative and useful. I would tell the trainer it was very informative and will have saved me time in my role so I can spend more time analysing results. I have learnt Macro’s which will hopefully make reporting downloads easier and less time consuming
Using data tables should make some of the reoccurring formulas used easier; Data management, Hopefully make reporting more user friendly so the user knows exactly what is required by using drop down boxes etc
This course has helped me understand more about the daily programmes used in work and shows me expansions I can work towards. This course is definitely work it!
Very useful training, a lot of new information and very helpful trainer who gave us a lot of support. I learnt Keyboard shortcuts, using functions, graphics and screenshots.
Very good and highly recommendable. Lots of things covered and explained really well. Explored in detail each topic taught.
I learnt how to create professional looking tables; How to filter and sort data; How to manage data in an efficient manner.
Complete the TNA and book onto a training course. You will learn loads of shortcuts that will save you time at work.
Time really well spent.
I would recommend they assess whether they need the first course as a foundation. I would have preferred to have done the Secrets course first before Ninjas, as I felt quite lost at times (although generally only one click behind hunting for a button or drop down). It has been illuminating seeing how much time could be saved by using the functionality of Excel rather than our own laborious methods. I am very motivated to use my new skills, such as using tables, including pivot tables, and the ability to sort and organise data. These are relevant to the reports required by senior managers regularly today, so not only can we improve the efficiency of making the reports, but also improving the quality of the reports themselves.
This will give you more confidents with working on Excel. Also make things much easier and faster for you.
Very well delivered and informative
I really enjoyed the training given today and feel I’ll be leaving today having learned a lot. Karen is very knowledgeable and keeps everyone engaged in the session with a good positive teaching vibe. I also really appreciate the hospitality provided. I would tell others this and I give high praise to Karen and Imagine Training.
Thank you for this experience!
The course kept me engaged from beginning to end, I would say to go for it! I learnt key shortcuts that will save time that I use now navigating the menus, I can make charts look better and show information within them in a clearer way, and improvements to the way I print so I use less paper.
Very good. A perfect mix of informative and fun information. I feel all of my colleagues who use Excel could benefit from learning more efficient and effective techniques and should definitely do this course.
I enjoyed the training course, found the course subjects relevant to me and added to my knowledge base which will save me time. I would advise others to do this course and feel the organiser has put together a well structured plan.
Brilliant course! Learnt lots of ways to make my tasks easier and quicker! The amount of shortcuts learnt was magical!! Thanks!
A very clever and knowledgeable tutor!!
The three main things I have learnt are how to create a pivot table, the F11 function to change data into charts and how to protect the files. Lots of info to take in but well worth it.
Really good session, well worth topping up my knowledge of Excel.
I would recommend this course for anyone wanting to further their knowledge on Excel. Useful things I learnt were inserting tables, I learnt short cut quick key Access, how to navigate quickly.
Lots of information to take in, listen and watch the trainer to obtain clear instructions of what to do. Overall a very good informative course, will put a lot of the shortcuts into practise during my working day. Probably should have done the next level.
