Improve your Excel skills for free with Edinburgh College

We're working in partnership with Edinburgh College to offer Excel beginner, intermediate and advanced courses. These courses are designed to improve your excel skills, with funded places offered through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Multiply Programme.
The free courses will introduce learners to a range of practical skills and acquire relevant underpinning knowledge, learn how to create visualisations such as graphs and charts from data and interpret their meanings. They will learn the foundational understanding of Excel that is necessary to create and work electronically with spreadsheets and to organise, calculate, analyse, revise, update and present data in a numerical and visual form. They will also learn the power of data analysis and presentation and explore issues relating to data security and data bias to make informed, intelligent organisational decisions. All courses will be delivered in the evenings at Edinburgh College's Milton Road campus 24 Milton Road East, Edinburgh EH15 2PP.
