What you learn at each level

Basic-Intermediate Excel (2 days)

For new or self-taught users. You enter and format data properly, write formulas with relative and absolute references, use SUM, AVERAGE, IF, COUNTIF and SUMIF, turn ranges into tables, sort and filter large lists, and build clear charts. By the end of day two you can take a raw list and turn it into a tidy, printable report without help. Basic-Intermediate Excel course details

Advanced Excel course (3 days): pivot tables, VLOOKUP and advanced formulas

This advanced Excel training is for people who already use Excel every week. Classes run at Fortune Centre on weekdays or Saturdays, and you move from single formulas to analysis:

• Lookups: VLOOKUP and XLOOKUP, then INDEX and MATCH for the cases a simple lookup cannot handle.
• Conditional logic: IFS, SUMIFS, COUNTIFS and AND/OR to calculate only what meets your criteria.
• Pivot tables in depth: group sales by region, product, month or quarter; show sums, counts, averages and percentages; add slicers and timelines. We go through each pivot table feature step by step until every learner has built their own on the exercise files.
• Clean, error-proof data: conditional formatting to spot duplicates, invalid codes and outliers, and data validation rules that stop wrong entries before they happen.
• Sharing safely: protect sheets, cells and workbooks, and set separate passwords to open or to edit a file, so you can share a report without exposing costs or price lists.
• Time savers: what-if analysis and a first look at recording macros for steps you repeat every month.

Specialist Excel courses

• Excel for HR: headcount, leave, payroll and HR reports from people data.
• Power Query & Power Pivot: clean and combine files from many sources once, then refresh them with a click.
• Excel VBA: automate repetitive tasks with macros and VBA.
• Microsoft 365 with Copilot: Word, Excel and PowerPoint, with Copilot to draft, summarise and analyse faster.

Pivot tables, VLOOKUP and the Excel skills employers ask for

Most job descriptions that mention Excel ask for the same things: pivot tables, lookups, clean data and clear charts. Pivot tables let you summarise thousands of rows by any dimension with a few clicks and no formulas. Lookups join data from different lists, for example prices into an order list or department names into a staff list. Our advanced Microsoft Excel training spends the most time on exactly these, because they save the most hours at work. If you mainly need dashboards and data models, the Data Analytics & Visualization course takes these skills further.

How to choose your level

• You type data and use a few simple formulas: start with Basic-Intermediate Excel.
• You already use IF and SUM but struggle with VLOOKUP or pivot tables: take the Advanced Excel course.
• You build reports for managers and want dashboards: take Advanced Data Analytics & Visualization.
• You work in HR, combine many files, or repeat the same steps every month: Excel for HR, Power Query & Power Pivot, or Excel VBA.
