• Microsoft Excel

  Excel is a very versatile program which can be used for a variety of purposes, such as holding simple lists of data through to complex data analysis utilising functions and pivot tables.

  Our training courses help the user to create professional spreadsheets by entering formulae for calculations; creating graphs to track performance; filtering information for analysis; using pivot tables to group and count data; and using macros to automate routine tasks.

• Microsoft Outlook

  Outlook offers so much more than just sending and receiving emails.  Used correctly you can manage your diary ensuring you never miss another appointment.  You can keep track of your to-do list and, if lucky, delegate some of your tasks to others whilst monitoring progress through the system.  You can even keep track of emails sent to and received from individual contacts through their contact record.

  If your calendars are shared, you can use Outlook to check colleagues' availability for meetings, send a meeting request and keep track of their responses.

• Microsoft Powerpoint

  PowerPoint is used as a tool when giving presentations.  It allows text, pictures, sound and video to be combined to help get your message across to an audience.  It can also be used as a sales aid/information screen running continuously on a TV screen in your reception or at an exhibition stand.

  By attending our course you will learn how to create, edit and run professional presentations; incorporate data from other applications; use transition effects to add interest; apply and re-design templates for visual impact; add drawing shapes and text boxes; and animate pictures and charts.

• Microsoft Word

  Word is mostly used for writing letters and reports but it can be used for desktop publishing tasks such as creating newsletters and posters.  It can also be used for multiple mailings to customers in order to promote new products or services.  Diagrams, pictures, organisational charts and bar charts can also be inserted to create effective reports.

  Our training courses cover topics such as creating newsletter style documents that incorporate graphics and columns; creating on-line forms and templates; structuring long documents with styles, cross referencing and automatic table of contents; mail-merge; and exchanging data from other applications.

• Microsoft Access

  Access is a relational database which means it can split your data into multiple interlinked tables thereby reducing the amount of data duplication required. It has the ability to link to data in Excel and use this data for viewing, editing and writing queries for reporting purposes.

  Our training courses will help you understand design principles, starting with tables and field properties, and how to create relationships between them. Once these are in place we will look at creating forms for data entry; writing queries to extract data or perform actions on existing data; and writing reports from tables or queries.
