Presentation of the project results
Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.
After the course, you will have mastered the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language and the VBA development environment. You will be able to use the VBA language to implement automated solutions in the Excel programming environment and will therefore be able to automate your day-to-day work by creating class designs, developing object-oriented solutions and processing tasks in Excel more conveniently and efficiently.
The course is aimed at anyone who already uses Excel in their everyday work, wants to expand their knowledge and increase the efficiency of their work processes through macro programming. These are, for example, specialists in commercial professions, in data analysis and project managers.
Microsoft Excel is used in almost all companies, but there is often a need to customize it. With knowledge of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), you can extend Excel considerably and thus expand your career opportunities across all industries.
Didactic concept
Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).
You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.
