Training Dates Course Fees 2 Day Introduction to Excel VBA Blue Novation has spent the last 15 years teaching Excel users how to easily create powerful macros and save themselves valuable hours on a weekly basis. Our 2-day instructor-led Introduction to VBA will have you up and running with this flexible and powerful macro language. The emphasis of the course is engaging, hands-on training, with delegates tackling practical “real-world” exercises, fully supported by our experienced VBA trainer. Before each exercise is tackled, the tutor will fully explain the theory that relates to the task about to be undertaken. The version of Excel used for training is 2016, however, the course theory is applic- able to all versions of Excel (2007 – 2016). Course manuals matching the version of Excel you normally use will be provided. The 2-day Introduction to VBA is for people with a good working knowledge of Excel. No prior knowledge of Excel macros or VBA is required. Training runs from 9.30am to approximately 4.30pm and takes place at our training facility at Adastral Park (home of BT’s Research and Development facility) in Suffolk. Training Includes: • A full colour Excel VBA training manual. • Certificate of attendance. • 1 month’s post course support. • Maximum of 6 delegates (each with their own PC). • Refreshments throughout the day. • Training in air conditioned facilities. Please note, as with all our courses, the Introduction to VBA course can be delivered on-site as required. In-company courses can also be tailored to your own specific requirements. £470 per delegate plus VAT Discounts are available for “early-bird” bookings and when booking two or more places on the same course. 9 - 10 May 21 - 22 June 21 - 22 March Tel: 0345 11 88 150 info@bluenovation.co.uk www.bluenovation.co.uk Address: Columba House, Adastral Park, Martlesham Heath, Ipswich, IP5 3RE facebook.com/BlueNovation twitter.com/blue_novation
