I provide bespoke Google Sheets training in person and online. Primarily I train teams together, using a syllabus that we design together to make sure we’re covering what you need.
I do also offer one-to-one (private) lessons.
Why you should commission me for Google Sheets training
I’m an experienced trainer.
Before I began my career as an auditor and accountant, I was an English language teacher. When I qualified as an accountant, I did a variety of roles in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors, but there were a couple of recurring things that I really enjoyed. Firstly, learning to use spreadsheets really well to automate processes and reporting. Secondly, training others in technical areas.
Hence I now have a hybrid career, where I provide Excel and Google Sheets training alongside consultancy and occasional part-time Finance Director work. (It’s a nice mix because it keeps my practical knowledge up to date and ensures that what I’m showing you is relevant to your work.)
My observation from consultancy work is that most people are self-taught with Google Sheets. And while you can learn a lot with YouTube videos and AI, some people learn better in a more structured way. I won’t just show you a bunch of formulas. I’ll explain the nuts and bolts of Sheets, and how to structure and present your files to maximise efficiency and impact.
If you’re used to how Excel works, I can give you tailored training around the similarities and differences. And if you’re completely new to spreadsheets – that’s fine too, I love training beginners!
Examples of bespoke Google Sheets training
Here are a few examples of training that I’ve designed and delivered;
- general training for a mixed charity team. This was delivered in two parts. Firstly a beginner level session, looking at navigation and shortcuts and basic formula construction. Then moving into formulas like SUMIFS, XLOOKUP and pivot tables for data analysis and reporting.
- a hybrid Excel and Google Sheets training day for a finance team that had to use both
- a session on data visualisation in Google Sheets
How I work with you
Normally we will have an initial conversation so that I can understand your requirements. I’ll then send you a questionnaire for your delegates. Based on this and our initial conversations, I’ll suggest a set of topics for us to cover. I’ll then prepare some Google Sheets files to accompany the training.
I can train in person or online in small groups. As an indicative price, I charge £850 to plan, design and deliver a day’s training, plus reasonable travel. I can also do half day bespoke sessions for £450. I offer discounts to charities and not for profit organisations.
