We don't currently have any online Bite-sized Excel Pivot Tables courses scheduled. We may consider adding dates - it's always worth asking.

Alternatively, if you have a handful of like-minded people in your organisation, you could consider booking your own bespoke Bite-sized Excel Pivot Tables course, whereby you get to pick the dates, training delivery method and venue!

About half of our courses are created bespoke for a single organisation, and either delivered onsite (usually somewhere in the UK, but we're willing to travel!) or online. For onsite courses we will usually provide and set up the necessary computers free of charge.

There are four main reasons why you might want to book tailored training like this:

  1. If you have 3 or more people, organising custom training will probably be cheaper than booking people individually onto a scheduled course.
  2. You'll be able to choose the content of any training, and be able to pause it for discussions on how you'll use software internally, or ask to take digressions.
  3. You may not be able to travel to our venues, so it might be easier to ask us to travel to you.
  4. You may not be able to make the dates of our published scheduled courses, and want to be able to choose when your training takes place.

If you'd like a quote for how much a tailored course would cost please let us know what you'd like to achieve and we'll get back to you (normally within half a working day).

What other people have said about our Excel training

Here are some comments we've received about our Excel training . You can see all of our 400 reviews here. We would like to sincerely thank the clients whose names are shown below for kindly agreeing to let us share their feedback.

"A fantastic tutor and he really knows how to facilitate this training very well. I would be very happy to do another course with him."

Holly Steppel

PwC

"Our trainer was really helpful, very patient and managed to amend the course and requirements, as we went along."

Jennine Carpenter

Mitsubishi Electric UK

"The trainer was excellent at keeping us engaged and made the experience fun. I learnt so many good tips and methods within Excel that I wouldn't otherwise have known about."

Jamie Campbell

Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)

"I really enjoyed the course, I learnt some new short-cuts that I will definitely be using going forward. Our trainer was very polite and helpful throughout the day and very patient with the group with some being slower than others. Overall very impressed and will be recommending Wise Owl Training to others. I wanted to understand excel better, I’ve been using excel for years and stuck in old habits with a lot of things that have been made easier eg. Filters, tables, sum."

Amanda Lanchester

Mitsubishi Electric UK

"The course content was really relevant for me to put into practise through spreadsheets I already have. The course trainer explained thoroughly, was patient and helpful throughout, felt very at ease asking questions when I was unsure."

Tara Boyle

Southend-on-Sea City Council

"Loved the really quick tips that were shared - I am already using these fast wins! The trainer was engaging and knowledgeable and really tailored the training to what the delegates needed/wanted, without missing out the already planned content."

What you'll need to bring

If you book on a classroom course, the only thing you need to bring to the course is ... yourself! We even provide a notepad and a suprisingly nice pen for you to take notes with.

For online training you'll need two things:

  1. A good internet connection (otherwise you'll have a frustrating time); and
  2. A second screen (a requirement, not a nice-to-have!)

You can see full details of our online course requirements here.

For classroom training, you won't need a computer - we (obviously) will provide that. However, you're welcome to use your own laptop if you prefer, providing that you have the correct software installed.

For online training you will need a computer, but you won't need to have any software installed.  This is because you'll use Windows Remote Desktop to connect to our computers using our whizzy Wordsworth online training system, and these computers will have all of the necessary files and software installed.

When you book a place

If you book a place on one of our courses:

  • For classroom courses we will send out a joining email. That's it!
  • For online courses we will get in touch to organise a half-hour pre-course check to iron out any connection problems before the course (rather than during it). We will also ask you whether you want to receive a printed copy of the course manual (and post this to you if you do).

Whatever type of course you book, we will also send you out a reminder a few days before the course is due to take place - not that (we hope) you'll have forgotten!

After the course

After the course finishes you'll receive a digital certificate proving your attendance (we will gladly send a paper copy on request also).

We don't have any formal arrangement for answering questions after the course, but if you get stuck on something and email your trainer they should (and nearly always do!) respond as quickly as their training schedule allows.
