EXCEL BASICS FOR THE WORKPLACE

The road to success is paved with information.

The collection, organisation and analysis of data is part of every business. But is the information at hand helping you to understand where your business is going, or has the collection of data simply become something that needs to be ticked off on a list and never looked at again?

Excel can change the way you organise and analyse data, and help you use the information at hand to secure your success.

The phrase ‘soft skills’ is often used to describe the skills which characterise relationships with other people, or how you approach interactions.

For many people, the so-called soft skills are often some of the most difficult skills to develop. Job-related expertise (hard skills) are essential in any profession. However, over the last 10 years, greater understanding has shown that perhaps soft skills may ultimately be more important in determining levels of success.

While hard skills are a basic minimum necessity in order to operate in a particular workplace, whether or not you are successful in your career may depend more on how developed your soft skills are.

THE BENEFITS OF

ONLINE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

Forget about attending classes for hours, sitting in an uncomfortable chair, and suffering from back pain by the end of the day. You will not be bound to physical class sessions when you opt for online education. All learning materials are provided online, so you’ll easily access them from the comfort of your office or home.

COMFORT

A self-paced system enables learners to make progress with a rhythm that suits them. This does not require attending live sessions; you can access the materials at any time that works for you. If you have to work or take care of your home and children during the day, you can study at night. That’s an advantage the traditional educational system cannot beat.

SELF-PACED LEARNING

The fact that online programs are cheaper when compared to the ones held in a traditional campus setting is enough to convince you to consider them. The average tuition for online courses depends on multiple factors, so it varies from one program to another. Note, free courses don’t usually come with a certificate of completion.

LOWER COSTS

It doesn’t matter where your career stands at this moment; completed programs will always look good on your résumé. It will show potential employers that you’re committed to learning and that you’re eager to obtain more knowledge and new skills. You will certainly become a better candidate for a job promotion.
