Learning Microsoft Office has been an essential vocational and organisational skill for decades, but that doesn’t mean it gets any easier to learn the core applications within that package – Word and Excel.
It’s one thing to be able to create a basic document, or use existing templates, but what about when you need something custom or are being asked to create documents as part of your job role?
This is where our basic Office training will come in handy. We cover all of the essential tasks that these two programs perform and discuss some best practices to get the most out of them, whilst being aware of their weaknesses.
