VBA Training

Advanced VBA Training Course

£750 + VAT for most venues (£895 + VAT for London)

2 days

If you already know how to create subroutines in VBA, are happy declaring variables and can write loops and conditions without a qualm, this is the course for you! Assuming a good working knowledge of Visual Basic for Applications, the advanced course shows you how to loop over collections, reference other applications, work with files in all of their manifestations, create your own classes (!) and much more.  The course uses examples drawn from Excel, Access, Word and Outlook.

Sample customer feedback

"Exceptional training, very well thought through and examples made things very understandable. The trainer was great in terms of expanding into different topics that were of particular interest and use to us. Your course content (compared to others) seemed to offer the best value in terms of learning a lot."

Robert Kingston (Xpedite GoC)

"Trainer was very enthusiastic and engaging. Am very pleased with the course content and delivery. Course handout material is very useful to take away."

Kiran Thiara (Freemans Grattan Holdings)

"Manuals are always brilliant."

Ersin Cimener (Tesco)

"I would like to say the training was absolutely fantastic, the trainer was brilliant and was able to answer any questions regardless of the context or complexity. The session was intense but well-paced and there was a great deal of flexibility so that it could be tailored to the three of us on the course! I had high expectations but was still surprised at the number of topics I learned including some interesting ad-hoc topics which were fascinating. I am going to beg my managers for as much budget as possible so that I can come back for more courses in the near future!! Thank You very much! "

Adam Yates (Bako North Western Ltd)

"It was a great two days, learnt so much. I think that I have only been programming for 2 months that understanding the usage and application of VBA was difficult. However, worthwhile as now I have started looking at my work in a completely different way. Thanks to the training!"

Nathan Sexton (University of Kent)

There are lots more where these came from (or just refresh this page to change the quotes shown).

Delegates should have good knowledge of either Access Visual Basic, Excel Visual Basic or Word Visual Basic.  To attend this course, you should already know the answers to these questions:

  1. How to use input and message boxes.
  2. How to write IF conditions and loops.
  3. How to create and use variables (including the use of OPTION EXPLICIT).
  4. How to select cells (including using OFFSET and END) in Excel.

If you haven't attended our two-day Excel VBA introduction course or been using VBA for at least 6 months, you're likely to struggle on this course.
