Pricing
|
£240 - 50% reduction on usual price - I have far
fewer overheads than the likes of Reed or Pitman, so I can afford to keep the
cost of the course down
|
Average £420 - £480 or even more
|
Tutor
|
Financial Specialist - I am a Chartered Accountant with 20 years
international expertise in advanced financial models & spreadsheets
|
Usually non-financial specialists eg. certified trainers rather than
Chartered Accountants
|
Syllabus
|
Unique & Practical - Written with a practical edge by an expert
with 20 years experience of advanced financial spreadsheets
|
Limited & Theoretical - Syllabuses are broadly theoretical and not
specific to the Finance world
|
Manual
|
Unique & High Quality - comprehensive, TheExcelPro colour course
manual is packed with hundreds of screenshots, practical tips &
guidelines - 12 chapters & over 100 pages in length - not published or
available for purchase elsewhere
|
Often not provided - or of inferior quality
|
Class Size
|
Max 5 delegates - this is perfect for a number of
reasons, not least the amount of time I can then dedicate to each delegate personally
|
Up to 20 delegates - this leaves little time for truly productive
one-to-one support
|
Class Length
|
1 day - Intensive one-day course for delegates with little time to spare
from their busy work-schedules
|
2 to 3 days
|
Lunch
|
Included in course fee
|
Usually Not Included in course fee
|
Laptops
|
Included in course fee - all delegates must work through
practice exercises which are pre-loaded onto their training laptops - in the
opinion of many experts, Excel must be learnt 'hands-on'
|
Often not provided - delegates are often expected to bring along
their own laptops with Excel on them, or are charged extra for their
provision, or don't require one at all as 'hands-on' training is not a
component of the course
|
Projector
|
Provided - Increasingly flat-screen large monitors are
available at venues, but I always bring a high-quality projector along just
in case
|
Often not provided - some trainers will not use a projector at all if, due to technical
difficulties, they can not connect to the flat-screen
|
Venue
|
Offer both public & private
courses at training venues or your offices
|
Usually only offer public courses at their training venues
|
Exercises
|
Practical & From Real Data - all delegates must spend over half the day working through practice
exercises which are pre-loaded onto their training laptops
|
Often over-simplistic & Unrealistic - making application of any knowledge learnt harder when the delegate
returns to the 'real world' at their workplace

Basic/Intermediate - with small maximum class sizes, I can afford to spend more time
supporting those who only have a basic knowledge of Excel
