These courses are exclusively for staff of the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board.

This is the first in a series of free workshops that have been designed to develop skills in the use of MS Excel. It aims to act as a gateway to further learning on the spreadsheet-based application that will develop user knowledge to a greater degree.

During the course of the workshop learners will develop a level of knowledge that will take up the following four areas:

· How to structure a worksheet as either a stand alone or part of a workbook

· Planning and implementing the core of a basic worksheet.

· Appropriate worksheet formatting

· Basic formulae and functions

Whilst this workshop is primarily designed for a user who is either new to the concept of building spreadsheets or new to manipulating data, those who have a stronger skills base in the use of Excel may find it useful as well. The course is designed to ensure that learners are of a similar level of competency to allow more advanced courses to be undertaken.

Abingdon and Witney College is subject to Ofsted regulation and is required to work with all its students to make sure they understand Government initiatives around Safeguarding, Prevent and Fundamental British Values. Information on these matters will be shared with you during your course.

You will also be asked to complete monitoring paperwork, which helps us to deliver course content to the highest quality.

Entry criteria
None

Courses can fill fast, so please enrol early to avoid disappointment. Decisions on whether a course is to run are made two weeks prior to the start date - an email will be sent to you should there be changes to your course or if it is cancelled. Please check your inbox leading up to your course, including the junk folders. For anyone without an email account, our Admissions team will phone you instead.

For the first week of the course you will need to bring a valid form of identification; this includes passport, driving licence, debit/credit card, Birth Certificate or National Insurance card.

Please note - you should be 19 years old or over at 31st August 2024 prior to starting the course.

Fee information
Free

Courses offered by the college are fully or partly funded by the Government and the published fee takes account of this funding.

Before starting a course, the College is required to check you meet conditions relating to that funding, e.g. age, residency status within the UK/EEA, prior qualification level and employment status. In some circumstances (such as with online enrolments), these checks can only be completed after you have enrolled and paid.

If you are unable to pay in full for this course at the time of enrolment, and the course tuition fee is £300 or more, an instalment plan is available. If this is your preference, please do not enrol online but rather call the Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to enrol.

Once enrolled, Admissions will take the first instalment payment from you and pass on your details to the Finance team who will email you to set-up your payment plan. Please return a fully completed instalment plan to Finance as failure to do so could result in being withdrawn from your course.

The rules on fee reduction are complicated, we would encourage you to talk to our Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to discuss these options. You can find more information on our Fees and Bursaries page - search "Fees and Bursaries" at the top of the page.
