Training course in spreadsheet modelling in London
Spreadsheet modelling (sometimes referred to as financial modelling) is essentially a set of best practice techniques to achieve consistency across your spreadsheets. The two of the key benefits of spreadsheet modelling are ‘control’ and ‘succession planning’.

Spreadsheet Control
Spreadsheet models are built with controls in mind and with the aim of eliminating spreadsheet errors.

Succession planning for Spreadsheets
Spreadsheet models are designed so they are easy to understand and use, with a transparent design and documentation. This ensures that they can be used across teams and over time as people leave and join the team.

This training course builds on our Spreadsheet (Excel) Skills for Finance course.

It is designed for experienced excel users who need to learning modelling techniques.

Spreadsheets are fantastic business tools and we hardly utilise their potential. This course aims to ‘get you up to speed’ and give you an insight into excel’s true potential.
