Training
Your team needs new skills to work efficiently and effectively in Excel?
We have the solution!
Excel is very flexible and widely used but often not effectively and efficiently. This leads to poorly constructed workbooks which are hard to understand, inefficient to use and potentially unreliable. A triple whammy!
On top of that, standard Excel can't cope well with larger or complex data sets - so users cannot process or analyse data effectively and you lose the chance to find great insights to help your business.
Our solution: We train your team to perform key tasks using best practice techniques and tools.
We offer a variety of standard and customised courses to meet your needs.
These are usually a half or a full day in length, so users learn quickly and effectively.

What our clients say
Rolf Martin Blume CFA

Gary Knott's training courses have completely convinced us. He tailored the topics to be covered individually to our needs in advance, and the training content, models and tasks were both theoretically sound and extremely practical. The hand-outs contained numerous best practice tips that made every day modelling much easier. The seminar was rounded off by Gary's patient, competent and friendly way of conveying the material to the participants, so that my colleagues and I not only learned valuable things, but also had a lot of fun during the training.

Excel is fun but can make you despair at the same time! The Excel trainings by Knott Consulting were always well thought-out, targeted and always led to some ‘aha experiences’!
