Excel Course For Beginners And Intermediates
Our Excel Proficient course is perfect for people who are either new to spreadsheets or those who have been using them for some time but need more confidence and knowledge to help them work more efficiently. After all, most people know how to use less than 10% of Excel's functionality and those with more knowledge are very attractive to employers.

Our step-by-step course is delivered as a self-paced programme so you can learn at your own pace at times to suit you at Pitman Training London in Notting Hill or High Holborn. The average student takes approximately 20 hours to complete the course which includes seven fascinating lessons.

And once you've passed your final exam, you'll have a sought-after Pitman Training certificate and a Microsoft Training Academy certificate to prove your worth! That means you can qualify for internationally recognised Microsoft certificates as well as Pitman Training qualifications.
