What is Advanced Microsoft Excel about?
SpecCon’s Advanced Ms Excel course is called ‘advanced’ for a reason; it’s not for amateurs! It is jam-packed with over 60 different functions and formulas. It teaches delegates to combine formulas and ensures that the learner can take these formulas to a new level. The most important element of this course is that the learner learns how to teach himself. There are so many different functions, the learner must be confident to grow and improve himself in the Excel environment.
