- Most participants will complete the material in the three timetabled sessions during which help and advice are available. However, the length of time taken will vary according to previous experience, so the facilities will remain available for informal use for a further week after the formal sessions; alternatively the course files can be copied to a floppy disk or memory stick (not supplied) so that the exercises can be completed on other machines.
- Excel 2003 is also available for those who would prefer this version. When booking please specify "Excel 2003" in the "Additional info" section and remind the instructor at the start of the course.
- Downloadable workbook and exercise files
