About this course
In this course you build the learning and development workbook of a fictional manufacturer, with every formula checked as you type. You compare required and actual levels in a skills matrix, count gaps with COUNTIF and turn the grid into a heat map. You track mandatory certificates with EDATE, days left and a red/amber/green status with IFS, report on-time completion by team and list overdue learners with FILTER. You calculate training hours and cost per FTE against a quarterly budget, measure learning with pre- and post-test gains, roll up a four-level evaluation into a weighted index, work out training ROI and payback in months and allocate next year's budget by skill gap closed per 1,000 spent.
