Notes
  • Participants work at their own pace using a workbook containing notes and exercises.
  • Most participants will complete the material in the three timetabled sessions during which help and advice are available. However, the length of time taken will vary according to previous experience, so the facilities will remain available for informal use for a further week after the formal sessions; alternatively the course files can be copied to a CD or memory stick (not supplied) so that the exercises can be completed on other machines.
  • Downloadable workbook and exercise files
  • This course is also available as a self-instruction pack from Computing Service Sales; there are also instructor-led and other self-teach courses on Excel.
