Im sat in a room in London city apparently getting an accredited Excel training course that is tailored to my skill level (as part of my internship).

Its a joke.

The trainer is failry mature and doesnt have to foggiest about anything thats not directly on her list of things to teach. I saw that this course is over £400 if you walk in off the street.

I think i might re-think my career and go into training. I could certainly handle this course a lot better than this!

Its ridiculous the stupidity of some trainers and the amount they are making!

A graphics designer mates mate teaches a 2 day intensive course on starting your own e-business. 16 hours of training and handing them a big textbook to refer to and charges them 2 grand for it!


He must be one rich, rich man..



On a side note, does anyone know of any higher level excel qualifications? Ive been thinking about doing one.

No, but I do know about google  8-)

Majority of training Ive ever done has been snake oil sold by snake oil salesman. Not worth the trouble.

Id make a complaint. Especially if the course aint suited to you.

I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.
