Excel with Business - online Excel training and testing

Introduction

As we have mentioned several times in the recent past, we are looking at ways of making The Knowledge Base a bit more virtual. With the number of lectures and hands-on courses continuing to increase, providing some of our services online reduces the need to be in several places at the same time.

So, when the team behind Excel with Business (EwB) suggested mutual cooperation it seemed like an ideal solution. EwB provides a comprehensive online Excel training course. Mind you, so do many other organisations. Apart from the people involved, the main thing that impressed us was the concentration on specific business applications of Excel and the inclusion of an online diagnostics test to identify existing strengths and weaknesses and thereby focus your time and effort.

The EwB site also includes a standalone test that you can use to gauge your own Excel expertise and that of your colleagues and employees using a weighted scoring system and analysing competence across 5 key areas.

You can explore the Test and Course with a free trial account and, if you decide to go ahead and sign up for the full thing, you can use the following code to receive a 20% discount:
