Spreadsheets play an integral part in information systems used by
organisations. Research and experience has shown that a high
proportion of spreadsheets are designed, maintained and controlled
in an ad-hoc manner. This can pose serious risks (for example,
leading to decisions being based on inaccurate information) and
result in difficulties demonstrating regulatory compliance.
Spreadsheet Safe is an innovative training and certification
programme that helps spreadsheet users and organisations assure and
maintain best practice in spreadsheet design, usage and
control.
The programme was devised by Q-Validus, in conjunction with BPP
Learning Media (study materials) and BTL Group Ltd (testing).
The programme is delivered in a one-day course at authorised
Spreadsheet Safe centres. It is a total training solution.
Candidates receive:
- High quality, full colour training manual
- Web-based e-learning
- A certification test
- Certificate (on successful completion of the certification
test)
Authorised Centres / Trainers are also supplied with a USB
memory stick containing:
- Professional Tutorware slides
- Spreadsheet files for use in the classroom
