Identifying Suitable Candidates For VBA For Excel Training
Mon 4th February 2008
As a result of limited resources, access is not always freely granted to desirable learning opportunities. Applications, exams and interviews often form part of vigorous selection processes and only the fortunate few will succeed. However, certain educational opportunities, such as Microsoft training courses, may not have such a strict selection process. Regardless, the prospective student must decide if they have the necessary prerequisites to succeed in the activity of their choice. Let us consider some of the issues to be considered by individuals thinking of learning about VBA for Excel.
Do I have the time?
The amount of time required to master VBA for Excel depends upon the individual in question and the way in which they choose to learn. Self-directed learning using books or on-line training material will proceed at a pace set by the learner. Instructor-led training courses provide a good forum for quickly solving problems as they are encountered because the learner has immediate access to an expert.
Do I have the inclination?
When thinking of undertaking additional training it is important to consider how your career can benefit. Job satisfaction, potential for promotion, increased responsibility, pay and availability of jobs are all important factors to be pondered. You may have reached a point in your career where you are considering progressing to a next level. By learning VBA, you could make the move to become an Excel VBA Developer.
Do I have the necessary expertise in Excel?
It is advisable to have mastered Excel before starting to learn VBA for Excel. It is important to know about tools such as SUMPRODUCT, INDEX/MATCH and the Excel database functionalities. It also helps to have an idea about the types of data used in your field of expertise. Whether it is financial, sales, accounting or marketing data, knowledge of the eventual application of the data used in your business will help you to use the software in the most effective way.
Do I have the necessary expertise in programming?
You do not need to have a background in programming to learn how to use VBA for Excel. One reason for this is that the majority of functions used to analyse business data are already pre-programmed in Excel.
Many people learn to use VBA for Excel through trial and error. This can be a lengthy process and there is always a risk that you may miss learning a useful shortcut or tip. Having decided that you are a suitable candidate for VBA for Excel training, you could consider taking a course in London at a training centre.

Testimonials
Goldschmidt Operations Manager Tim Bennet Excel Intermediate
He spent time making sure we were all keeping up and walked around to make sure everyone understood. I had some issues with some of the files I work on using Excel and he took time to explain them to me so I was very happy with the training. We were shown lots of short cuts and things we never knew that were on Excel and it now gives us a better understanding of Excel.
National Physical Laboratory HRS Michael Ward Excel VBA Intermediate
Overall, the course was great and I wish I had gone on this course years ago!!! I would have liked a bit more time to do a few more practice exercises and also have a few more complicated examples with the VBA code annotated to help consolidate my learning after the course
