As the downturn cuts there is the evitable squeeze on budgets.  Not surprisingly, for many companies the training budget is on the list to be slashed.   However, there are smart ways to train staff at next to no cost.

For example, Emily Coltman got in touch with me to point out a series of Excel videos that can be obtained for £7.50 (plus VAT).  Add to this piece of information that the cost covers all users in a company then the £7.50 represents superb value.  

The topic of the videos is Excel pivot tables.  If you use Excel regularly then this is a vital topic.  It does have an air of mystery to those not in the know, but is an indispensable skill once gained.

To conquer the topic there are four videos (each less than five minutes) together with supporting spreadsheet and manual.  It is a very clear and concise approach that is a winning formula and at £7.50 it certainly won’t be a drain of the budget.
