Clients who have 3-4 or more people interested in this course normally prefer to run this course on an in-house basis in their offices.

We can bring all the equipment for up to 8 people so all you need is a room!

Benefits

  • Flexibility: we can combine content from multiple courses to create a custom course just for you, add-on a workshop or some mentoring sessions then run everything at the times that suit you.
  • Timing options: if you're in Perth, we can split courses into half or single days and schedule these at times to suit you
  • No hidden extras: our fixed fee includes all materials and equipment costs for up to 10 participants
  • Cost effective: no extra fees for extra participants (maximum of 8 per session)

Optional Workshop Add-on

A Workshop is a half or full-day group session where participants bring along their Excel models to gain help, ideas and suggestions on how their models could be improved.

Clients often book a Workshop in addition to the standard training course since the Workshop provides a fantastic way for participants to:
- apply and reinforce the knowledge and principles from the course
- gain immediate productivity benefits in their Excel models
- better understand the models that are used in their office

For all these reasons, clients booking workshops gain a far greater return on their training investment.

Cost: AUD3,000 (full day), or AUD1,600(half-day)

To gain all these great benefits, just book your workshop when arranging your course.

Call Wyn Hopkins on +61 8 6210 8500 to discuss your requirements.

Bundled Course & Mentoring

Mentoring sessions are 2-hour, individual, one-on-one sessions with the facilitator where participants use their own files and work on any issue they choose.

Training in this manner allows participants to reinforce the principles they learned on the course by applying them to real-life situations and get personalised assistance in private with anything they'd like to discuss. This ensures a deeper understanding and therefore a much longer-lasting benefit by bridging the gap between what was learned on the course and what happens in real-life.

As a further benefit, it also provides an immediate payoff by improving and enhancing participants' productivity.

Mentoring Details

Booking

To take advantage of the bundled mentoring options, just discuss this when booking your course and we'll arrange everything.
