Approach
The training combines brief theory segments with extensive hands-on exercises. We use recognisable examples from your own working environment — your own spreadsheets, formulas and reports — so you can apply what you have learned that same day.
Levels
Beginner, Intermediate and Expert, plus industry-specific programmes for Finance, HR and Sales. In the intake conversation we determine together which programme fits best. Does your team have mixed levels? No problem: we compile a programme that is relevant for everyone.
Bespoke
Almost every Numbers training we deliver is bespoke. We combine topics from different levels into one training that precisely matches the daily practice of your team. Your own spreadsheets and datasets are used as practice material.
Numbers version
We train in the latest version of Apple Numbers (part of iWork on macOS Sequoia and iCloud) by default. Does your organisation use an older version? We will align the training accordingly.
Materials & aftercare
After the training each participant receives a comprehensive summary with examples and exercises. For questions after the training you can always contact the trainer.
