Want to get back to work but need Office/Word training

Hi, I would like to get back into part time work now my kids are older. I have been temping but my skills could be better. Typing speed is fine as I dont want to be a typist. Really I need more Word, Office and Excel skills - things like tables, borders, presentation that sort of thing.

Where is the best place to look for classes please. We do have a local Pitman centre but i have a feeling it is going to be expensive. Dont want to wait until September for college courses.

Any ideas?
