JUST ONE DAY TO
Excel
EXCELLENCE!

Better basics, plus expert power tips!
Starting with the basics, and moving to more advanced features, you’ll learn how to
turn Excel into your most powerful productivity tool. If you’re only tapping a few of
the features of this powerful and versatile software, get set for a productivity explosion! You’ll learn hundreds of ways to work faster, smarter, and savvier with Excel!
Get up to speed – fast!
You don’t have to waste hours wading through thick manuals…sitting in classes for
days, even weeks…fruitlessly punching keys in “trial and error” learning efforts…forget
all that! Pryor’s guaranteed one-day computer training gives you the most possible
information in the least amount of time. Most of us don’t have time in our busy
work days for extended training or “on-the-job” learning. Enroll today, and you’ll
master the basics through the tough stuff — away from deadlines, demands, and
office pressures.
Get the most for your training dollar!
Check the price of other software training options — you could spend hundreds (even
thousands) of dollars on classes, books, tapes, videos and consultants. Or, you can
attend this top-quality training course. You can expect to learn everything you’d learn
in the more expensive training options — but in just one day, for a reasonable tuition.
Plus, you’ll take home an indispensable Excel reference workbook that will prove priceless to you again and again!
Understand and retain it with our proven teaching method.
Pryor’s extensively tested, structured software learning system makes it all easier for
you, with a carefully designed course that makes every minute count! You’ll be
amazed at the number of Excel power tools you’ll master and put to use the very
next day! Our “hands-off” teaching method means you won’t waste time entering
data, correcting mistakes, or waiting for the entire group to catch up. Instead,
you’ll learn exactly how to do it from an expert; then try it all at your leisure, in
the privacy of your own office.
Learn from instructors who know their stuff.
Pryor’s instructors aren’t technicians or programmers; instead, they’re smart, savvy
business professionals with extensive experience using Excel in “real world” settings.
While they’re experts, they speak your language, not hard-to-follow “computerese”;
you’ll love the emphasis on practical, understandable solutions to the challenges you
face every day.
You’re just one day away – from Excel excellence!

Have you ever
…Interrupted your office’s Excel “expert” again, and again, and again?
Instead, why not… become one of your office’s experts?
Immediately after attending this course, you’ll not only increase your own
productivity, you’ll become a valuable resource for other Excel users in your
office. Watch how quickly you develop a reputation as one of your organization’s most
knowledgeable Excel users!
…Hopelessly searched a massive manual through pages, indexes, and
contents?
Instead, why not… have all the answers you need, right at
your fingertips?
If you’ve known the frustration of puzzling indexes, complex instructions, and
“buried” answers, this seminar is for you! You’ll learn the best Excel tips and
techniques, in an easy-to-understand format. And, you’ll take home a workbook
that gives you instant access to all you’ve learned, without searching and digging!
…Just struggled to get the work done, any way you can?
Instead, why not… get it done the easy, fast, and skillful way?
So many of us work by habit — doing things the way we know how, the way we learned
to do them the first time. Wait until you see what you can do when you break free of old
habits and discover the Excel power tools that are available, just waiting to be used!
You’ll never work the same way again!
…Been bored with sleepy spreadsheets that all look the same?
Instead, why not… produce vivid, attractive pages that really
get noticed?

and produce spreadsheets that communicate better and really get attention! You’ll leave
the seminar with a pack of professional tips for brilliant, distinctive output every time,
on every worksheet!
…Wasted your valuable time trying to learn by “trial and error?”
Instead, why not… spend one day and learn in a flash, from
an expert?
Try, try, and try again; you know the stress and pressure you feel when you need
to “get it done” but can’t seem to “get it right.” How much time and effort could you
save if you didn’t have to learn this way? Well, there’s a better way — in just one day!
From faster and easier basics to more advanced techniques, our expert trainer will show
you exactly how to do it. And, you'll do it all with ease, the very next day!
Q:
A:
Is this course for beginners or more experienced users?
Both beginners and users with
some experience will learn and
sharpen their skills. We suggest that you have some
knowledge of Excel basics. The
course is especially effective
for beginners who want to
learn more as well as intermediate users who want to
sharpen their skills and tap
into Excel’s more powerful
functions.
Q:
A:
What versions of Excel
does this course cover?
We’ll cover Excel 2000, 97 and
previous versions for Windows®.
(If you’ve been undecided about
“moving up,” this is a perfect
opportunity to see if the new
features are for you!)
Q:
A:
Will I spend the
day in front of
a computer?
No! You can learn more
in less time with our dynamic
“hands off” teaching
approach. You’ll be able to
concentrate and learn without
being “slowed down” by keyboarding or having to wait for
the entire group to catch up.
(And, doesn’t a day away
from the computer screen
sound great?) Your workbook
provides all the information
you need to try everything
you’ve learned, later, at your
own speed and convenience.
