Entry Requirements

It is essential to have a good sound working knowledge of Excel before embarking on this course and we would not recommend moving onto it if you have only recently done the Introduction to Excel course.

Progressing from Intermediate to Advanced shouldn't be a problem. Learners having completed the Introduction to Excel followed by the Intermediate need time to assimilate and put in to practice what they have learnt.

After Your Course

You could progress on to IT Users Certificate, Accountancy or Bookkeeping courses.
