MICROSOFT EXCEL FOR ACCOUNTS & FINANCE STAFF

INTRODUCTION
In line with the federal government reforms programme which emphasize the

need for civil and public servants to be fully computer literate and able to

apply Information Technology (IT) at work to enhance productivity, there is

need to train and retrain staff in IT skills. This is part of the National IT policy

of human capital development with emphasis on creating and supporting a

knowledge-based society.

Measuring ones skills and expertise is necessary in today’s highly competitive

fast paced world. Computer certifications exist for a single purpose: to

provide a measurable account of a specific set of skills and/or product

knowledge. However, having a planned hands-on training on highly

demanding IT courses is essential in your organization’s ability to grow and

reach goals. We have appending one of the most highly demanding IT

courses for your consideration. Thank you in advance for your interest in our

training programs.
