Microsoft Excel is an invaluable tool in the workplace and an essential skill if you aspire to improve your career prospects in administrative roles. Spreadsheets are equally a useful personal skill for enhancing processes like tracking your personal finances and recording data for hobbies and interests. This Microsoft Excel course is ideal for those who have basic computer skills and wish to gain an overview of spreadsheet features and functions.
This course will introduce you to the key basic features and functions of the Microsoft Excel programme including ribbons and toolbars, inserting, deleting and moving data and cells, modifying columns, rows and cells along with formatting the appearance of cells and number formats.

The college uses windows-based systems not apple-based systems. This does not preclude you from using your apple product however please be aware that there can be slight differences in how you approach certain applications that are primarily written by Microsoft for windows.

Please note there are no classes during half term.
