VBA Training

Advanced VBA (2 days)

£675 + VAT for most venues (£795 + VAT for London)

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 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.

Adam Buckley (Lex)

"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! "
