How our class can help you.
Our 1-day class shows the essential Excel
skills you need to assemble a wide variety of hi-tech model and analysis tools.
From laying out model and analysis problems; to
building high-powered formulas, lookups, and logic; to implementing
numerical techniques and design optimization; our class covers a wide
range of must know Excel topics.
Join us and our class will show you the design strategies,
assembly methods, and Excel features that you can use to rapidly solve
your problems.

How we run the class:
We focus our Excel class on what our customers need. When class
begins, we analyze those needs and shift our Excel training outline appropriately. We will stress topics or add topics that our customers want. No two
classes are ever the same with EMAGENIT.
