    I'm quite good at Excel but looking to develop my skills as can see how beneficial it is to be an 'expert' in. Can anyone point me in the direction of any p/t courses mid week in Dublin that do intermediate/advanced training?

    Thanks in advance.

    Forget Excel, at least look to VBA. Ideally learn to code, the Python course on CodeAcademy is excellent.

    Why would they forget Excel? Excel is a tool used in many industries and employers would have no interest in being able to code?

    I am also looking to improve my already decent excel skills.

    If you already have a handle on it I recommend YouTube videos and you'll pick up the rest in no time

    Look for Microsoft Office Specialist. Lots of places do this course and there are many levels, including advanced.

    Because they already say they're pretty proficient with it. There isn't really much to Excel so why waste time on improving a pretty common skill when learning something like basic coding would give their skills set a massive boost.

    Also Excel isn't really portable either. You're vendor locked in to Office.
