Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications or prerequisites are required?

Participants should have a foundational working knowledge of Microsoft Excel, including basic navigation, data entry, cell formatting, and fundamental mathematical formulas. Prior familiarity with commercial transactions, invoices, or customer accounts is useful, but no prior background in advanced spreadsheet modelling or artificial intelligence is required.

How long is the course?

The course runs across five consecutive days. Each day involves four to five hours of structured instructional modules, analytical exercises, and practical spreadsheet labs, totalling approximately 20 to 25 training hours.

Can AI-generated insights be used directly in management decisions?

Artificial intelligence outputs should not be used without verification against source data. All automated summaries and forecasts must be reviewed against verified spreadsheet figures and judged within the commercial context of the organization before being submitted to executive leadership.

Course Value and Distinctions

This programme delivers an end-to-end operational pathway that connects data hygiene, formula-driven modeling, visual KPI reporting, and strategic account planning. Rather than treating spreadsheets, machine intelligence, and commercial management as separate disciplines, the curriculum leads participants through a continuous workflow: from raw transaction data and debt ageing analysis to dashboard reporting, prompt-based pattern identification, and strategic execution.
