Microsoft Excel VBA trainingMicrosoft Excel VBA Training Courses

We are now back to full face-to-face training at client site. We are also offering training by videoconferencing means, usually via Microsoft Teams or Zoom, if this is your preference. Click for more information about remote training.

If you’re looking for really great Microsoft Excel VBA training you’re in the right place.

Companies large and small choose us – why? Your own tailored, Microsoft Excel VBA training course, at your own premises at the same price as a standard course from elsewhere.

When working with a Microsoft Excel workbook becomes repetitive, it makes sense to create a macro to automate the task. Simple macros can be recorded in Microsoft Excel itself. If you want to create complex macros in Microsoft Excel then using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) will enable you to program your own. This course is designed to teach you how.

The JMD Training difference is clear:

  • We come to you – your Microsoft Excel VBA training will be given on your site
  • You get to keep the manuals – Excel VBA training manuals are provided as PDFs
  • We can train using your own Microsoft Excel workbooks
  • There will only be people from your company on your course
  • We offer a money-back guarantee if any delegates are not completely satisfied
  • The training date is around you, not us!
  • Our prices are astounding
  • We can assess all learners in advance for free
  • Our courses are never cancelled
