Are you looking to excel with Excel, but the very thought of spending a day in front of a computer in a classroom puts you off? Perhaps you don't want to spend time entering data, correcting mistakes and feel as if you are slowing everyone else down? Or perhaps you are happy to experiment on your own and don't want to wait for slower delegates to catch up?
Join me for a lively mix of demonstrations and business examples and go back with a seminar handout and USB stick packed with exercise files to practice what you've learnt at your own pace in your own time.

The small print
Microsoft Excel has lots of underutilized features that can make you more productive with less work, thereby saving you and your organisation in the long run. I will personally teach you how to use these features and their usefulness in your organisation, challenging you to do things differently:
- Save countless hours in calculating and recalculating information by using formulas
- Perform more complicated calculations by using functions
- Avoid the "pitfalls" of relative cell references
- Test certain conditions and return one of two entries
- Present information in the form of a chart
- Produce summary reports from different worksheets
- Merge data from multiple users by linking workbooks
- Manage large spreadsheets by splitting the workbook window into panes
- Ensure accurate data entry by restricting cell entries to specific conditions
- Search for a value in one place and insert it in another using lookup functions
- Use Excels database features to quickly retrieve data and manipulate lists
- Analyse your data, using PivotTables
- Automate repetitive tasks by creating macros
- Assign a macro to a button on your toolbar or new menu
- Learn numerous time-saving tricks and shortcuts
It's easier done than said!

Hands Off training reflects human nature. Most of us can only digest 20 minutes at a time so sessions are short and focused with time in between for quizzes, and exploration and reflection to absorb and understand. Concentration, confidence and enjoyment are dramatically increased and it's a more fulfilling experience all-round.

Don't just take my word for it. Here's what people say about hands off training:
"Great course, well taught - good insight into Excel."
James Ball, PANalytical, Waterbeach
"Excellent course. Easy to follow and well presented."
Geraldine Hancock, PANalytical, Waterbeach
"Very friendly and interesting course trainer. Did not make you feel stupid or inadequate."
Terry Soteriou, PANalytical, Waterbeach
"Truly enjoyable experience. Very clear, light and to the point. The mode of teaching was extremly effective
for me."
Tanya Adler, Motorola TTPCom, Melbourn
"The course was fantastic! i had to go straight home and work through some of the examples - i've learnt so many things i didn't even know existed and i'll be
recommending it to anyone looking for an excel course."
Pat Smyth, student, Nottingham University
"Hands Off was great as one could really focus rather than getting bogged down with examples."
Pat Corteen, University of Cambridge Careers Service
"I thought I would "switch off" but you can concentrate more on the content knowing you have material to
practise on later."
Kathy Moon, University of Cambridge Careers Service
"The quality of the event and the venue was excellent. The course pack is very comprehensive and will be a useful reference tool.
Excellent value for money!"
Carol Lyon, Cambridge Genetics Knowledge Park
"I have attended many training seminars over the years but none have been
delivered with such a refreshing and relaxed format. Due to this the benefits of
attending were many and I would recommend Karen's courses to anybody who wishes to
learn without the feeling that they are just being taught."
Tim Heath, Manciple, Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge
"Computer courses can be scary, this course was thoroughly enjoyable, well paced, plenty of information - a day well spent!
"
Jayne Williams, Grifols UK Ltd, Cambridge
"I found the seminar extremely interesting and a very different way of learning. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who uses Excel and wants to
progress using the various functions to a greater degree. I enjoyed the day and even found time to look through the folder at home in the evening. I would not hesitate to go on another hands-off course.
"
Linda Curnow, Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge
"I enjoyed the open forum rather than just sitting at the machine and working."
Jane Golding, Churchill College, Cambridge
"Non-hands on was very interactive and enabled plenty of Q&A."
Carolyn Harden, NATS Ltd, Whiteley
"Karen was very informative and went at a pace that everyone could follow. Always made time for all members of
the group."
Sharon Nightingale, Swavesey Village College, Swavesey
"Great venue, lovely trainer! I really enjoyed it. (Much more than I thought I would.)"
Liz Whitaker, Norfolk Federation of Young Farmers Clubs
"Very useful course. Hands-off approach was much better than expected as allowed everyone to progress at the
same pace and kept the continuity going. Trainer was happy to deviate from prepared programme and address relevant questions.
"
Emma Holmes, GMG BioBusiness Ltd, Cambridge
"I enjoyed the course and gained great value from the hands-off approach.
This type of course covered a wide selection of "opportunities" and it
is now down to practicing and implementation in the
work-place.
Many thanks for such an interesting day and also for your quick response to
the unanswered questions.
"
Angela Mead, The Møller Centre, Cambridge
"I've developed excel-ent skills! Thought you'd be pleased to know that today I am working on a
spreadsheet to create a report and it's a real pleasure to apply the knowledge I learned on your course. It's brilliant!
Many thanks for your excellent tuition.
"
Michael Bennett, Forward Business Solutions, Whittlesford
