Course overview
New systems, restructures, new processes and new tools all succeed or fail on how people adopt them. This course gives you a clear, practical approach to leading change, whether you are introducing a new piece of software or reshaping how a team works.
You learn widely used change models and turn them into a simple plan: why the change matters, who it affects, what support people need and how you will know it has worked. You practise stakeholder mapping, writing a change message and handling the questions and concerns people naturally raise.
You leave with a one-page change plan for a real change you are leading, and the confidence to guide your team through it.

I had a good experience with this Microsoft Excel training course! Mark the trainer was exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and engaging, taking the time to explain complex functions and formulas in a way that was easy to understand. The pace of the class was well-managed, and there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions without feeling rushed. I left the session feeling much more confident, efficient, and equipped with time-saving shortcuts. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their spreadsheet skills!
good value for money, I understood notions that were very not clear to me. Thanks to Mark.
Very good communication and an excellent tutor.
Very happy with Mark's training ethos and training he provided.
Excellent course and really well presented. Starting from basic knowledge the course guided you through step by step and was well paced for all.
Really enjoyed the course. Tutor was knowledgeable, friendly and gave real-world, practical advice to get the most out of the training.
The trainer really tailored the course to our needs, encouraged us to ask questions, and was knowledgeable and really helpful.
The trainer was very patient and did not mind having to explain things a few times to make sure we were all on the same page, was very helpful for someone like myself who sometimes misses details on the first go around
Excellent trainer, the format of the training was fantastic and I got a lot from the course.
This was, by far, one of the best training courses I have had the pleasure of attending. The trainer was extremely knowledgeable and delivered a great course!
This was the first time I have joined an excel course and I found it very informative and very helpful.
I liked how the trainer tailored the training around what our needs and roles are.
A great pace for somebody just starting and never an issue with questions, and always had a good way of answering.
From knowing nothing to what I know now and in less than a day I would highly recommend as it was extremely useful, and has made my understanding of MP a 100x better. Thank you the trainer for the great lesson!
Excellent course, definitely the best 'power' course I have attended. The trainer was enthusiastic about the material and kept it relevant to our needs
The trainer was really knowledgeable and extremely helpful in helping us to build our own reports.
It was very productive as a working session. I learnt a lot.
His careful delivery of the course really made the difference not only in its usefulness but in how well we, as learners, will retain and apply this new information.
