Training for Work

In today’s world, computer skills are a must-have at work. They help you get things done faster, collaborate with others, and stay ahead in your career.

Here’s why they’re so important: 

  • Work Smarter, Not Harder
    Knowing your way around tools like spreadsheets, word processors, or presentation apps saves time and reduces errors. These skills make it easier to stay organised and productive.

    From emails to video calls, computer skills make communication hassle-free, no matter where your team is. Tools like Microsoft Teams also make teamwork a breeze.

    Want to stand out? Employers value tech-savvy employees. Skills like Excel, Word and PowerPoint could open to better job opportunities.

    Remote work is here to stay, and computer skills are crucial for using tools like Zoom or Teams. Plus, knowing about online security keeps company data safe while working from home.

  • Keep Learning
    Being comfortable with technology encourages you to explore new tools and keep improving yourself, which is great for your personal growth and your company’s success.

In today’s workplace, Microsoft Excel is one of the most widely used tools across industries, making it an essential skill for professionals. Whether you’re creating budgets, tracking project timelines, or analysing trends, Excel offers functions and features that simplify complex tasks.

Investing in general computer skills training empowers employees to work smarter, reduces errors, and enhances their confidence, making it a highly valuable asset in any professional setting.

My training is focussed around your specific needs as an individual. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, ensuring you gain the confidence and skills you need. Below are some examples of things you could learn:

  • The very basics - finding your way around the computer and using the keyboard
  • Storing and organising files (pictures, documents etc)
  • Sending emails, and sending emails with attachments with Microsoft Outlook
  • Uploading files onto shared online work areas
  • Using Teams or Zoom
  • Creating documents (such as a CV, reports, invoices or quotes) with Microsoft Word
  • And much more!

You can mix and match any topic to suit your specific needs.

All services are completely flexible. Your session time can be used for whatever you want and need.

Day sessions (drop in, or booked slots)
