The skills to be able to build this are not difficult to learn, and the way the course is taught is to help you to understand the simple mindset behind how Microsoft products work together.

Your trainer has over twenty years’ experience with Microsoft Excel and will simplify what others make complicated. As he says, “Pretty much anyone can learn Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office and Microsoft Excel when it is explained from the perspective of normal working people”.
