Course Overview
Microsoft Excel is a primary financial management tool used in most organisations across the world, and has emerged as the best tool to integrate financial models in a highly efficient and secure way. Its inherent ability to identify and track all the points of linkage helps to manage the sheer volume of calculations involved in building a durable financial model.

Basic levels of competence in Excel are skills that are easily picked up by many- with the result that deeper levels of the Excel program largely go unexplored and unused. Most users, therefore, do not exploit the enormous potential of Financial Management and Modeling using the Excel program and fail to use the range of features and functional tools that Excel has to offer.

Learn, apply and analyse financial models with Excel with competency and expertise after our three day course in FME. Get practical, hands-on training in powerful Excel tools that will help create financial models facilitating greater analytical accuracy. Build a solid foundation in Excel techniques that can be used to manipulate large datasets of financial information.

Delivered using a combination of lectures and practice problems and online training, our course will enable you to apply your learning to build useful, accurate, and robust financial models with ease.
