I live in Old Windsor so accessible to Windsor, Egham, Englefield Green, Ascot, Staines etc....
Does anyone know where my son can attend a course to improve his Excel knowledge please?
He's 22. Working his "summer job" back from uni. Funds aren't abundant, like we can't afford £300/day, which is all I can find.

Thank you in advance for any replies

Does it have to be in person? There are lots of Excel tutorials on YouTube, for example.

Hi thank you for replying. I was hoping for in person really, but yes we'll have a look.

Do uni offer anything to students?

He's left uni. Just some of the jobs he's been looking at require strong Excel.

Actually, your post eventually reminded me of the time last year when DD was also going for a job which required a sust-off and polish of her Excel skills and she sent us a nice photo of the cafe in Berlin where she was doing this. I have sent her a message to ask what resources she used.
(She did get the job).

Aaah that's brilliant thank you. I'm sure he'd be fine but i guess more confidence in ability is needed. I think in person is good as you can ask questions

DD did indeed use YouTube as a resource - she seemed to find tutorials at various levels.
