At SquareOne Training we take pride in designing Spreadsheets for our customers, so we were delighted to be asked to design a solution to track staff courses and KPI alerts. This spreadsheet was implemented in 2018, but completely changed the way the company worked and made the data not only accurate but trackable.
Great trainer, clear to understand. Using the new version of outlook as i wasn't aware there would be an update and the calendar for outlook was very helpful to use
