Excel for
Farm Business
Excel is a fantastic program that many of us have on our computers, but we don’t use it to its full potential. You can learn how to design simple spreadsheets that help you with record keeping and make calculations easy. This course is taught using the side-by-side method where our recorded video lessons are played on a tablet or second screen and the exercises are undertaken concurrently on your computer. Working in your own office allows you to load your own spreadsheets with your own data and apply your knowledge straight away. With realistic farm-based examples, you will increase your finance and business knowledge as we go.
