Notice
This programme is formerly known as “Advanced Excel Spreadsheet Skills”
Laptop: As this class places strong emphasis on the hands-on experience, you will be working with data for the majority of the time in the class. To optimize the learning experience, it is mandatory for all participants to be equipped with a laptop, pre-installed with either Microsoft Excel 2010, 2013, 2016 (full licence) or any latest version. Kindly note that Mac Excel version has limited Excel functionality. Use of dual monitor is encouraged as you will be using 2 applications concurrently.

Programme Objective

It has been said that the 95/5 rule applies in the Excel spreadsheet world. 95% of the users used only 5% of its power. Most users realized that they could further harness the power of Excel if they could have a better handle of its structure, formulas and functions. This is much complicated by the incomprehensive jargon and procedures.

Nothing is more powerful than having clear and accurate data to make meaningful and useful decisions about your company, business units, product cycles, sales projections and operating requirements in order to forecast your business futures. This programme is directed at the businessperson who needs to use Excel in their everyday job to improve decision-making and productivity.
