We offer evening, full, half and day training. With a maximum of 12 candidates per course (we are flexible with this, please contact us to discuss).
Why do you not have beginner, intermediate and advanced training days?
Every candidate’s job role is different, everyone’s end goal is personal and most importantly everyone’s time is money. Attending a full days beginner training, when you only need one part of the course, doesn’t make sense to you or us.
Why attend a full day course, when you only need one aspect of it.
We don’t believe in limiting our candidates progression in learning aspects of MS Excel needed for their job role. We have labelled our individual courses B (beginner), I (intermediate) and A(advanced) as that is what people like to use for a bench mark.
Regardless of your prior knowledge and experience our trainer will personalise each course to the delegates expertise in the room. That is the benefit from MK-Office having a trainer with a teaching qualification and over 20 years of experience using excel. Below is a list of courses, we offer.
Will I need my own device?
Yes, we do not supply candidates with computers or software packages for our courses.

All employees have access to training that works around their schedule. No travelling, training done on the company’s premises saves valuable time for employees. It also allows a company to bespoke their training day to get the most value out of MK-Office.
Why send an employee to attend part of a course they already know? This way employees can attend what they need at a time that best suits delegates.
Why invest in MS Excel training?

Anything else?
Yes, unlike other Excel providers we offer you the opportunity during a training day to schedule a drop-in session. Drop-in sessions are where employees can bring spreadsheets, they are having issues with or that are not performing efficiently for our expert to take a look at and fix.
