Free 3-Hour Numbers Workshops for People in Work, this Summer

Sometimes working with numbers can seem overwhelming, scary, or even boring! But there are so many positives to being able to work with them and understand them. 

That’s where we come in! 

Our two new online workshops have been created to help people like you who are in work but maybe need a little extra help to feel confident when it comes to numbers.

Together, we'll look at the importance of understanding your payslip and how learning how to use Excel effectively can save you time and improve your performance at work.

Both workshops are delivered online through Microsoft Teams and last just 3 hours, meaning you can learn something new from the comfort of your own home.
