Download Course Outline (PDF)

This course was written for trainees wishing to learn to use Microsoft Excel. It is written for using Microsoft Excel in the Office 2016 suite of applications. However, it does not include a ‘New Features’ section exclusively about new features in Microsoft Excel within Office 2016 (see appendix A). It is very easy to see a complete list of the new features in Office v2016 in the Help menu on-screen. This courseware cannot and should not compete with the comprehensive coverage of new features detailed by Microsoft within the application’s help files. To do so would be to hinder learning the raw application.
 
What this course seeks to do is teach the trainee Excel in the hope that he/she may be able to go and work just as well using v2002 for example and other versions. Wherever possible, ‘version functionality’ is purposely avoided.

    Client Site Training - We’ll focus on what matters most to you and tailor to your context


    Face-to-Face, Live Online, or Hybrid Class Tailored to Your Needs

    When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.

    We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.

    Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.

    live online & hybrid

    We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.

    You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.

    A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
