Flexible deliveryfinance sector training FAQs
Questions finance sector managers ask us
Is our client and financial data kept confidential during training?
Yes. Trainers work with anonymised or sample data during exercises unless you choose to use your own, and any materials shared with us are treated in confidence.
Can training run for a small team without leaving anyone uncovered?
Yes. Many finance teams choose our remote or 1-to-1 formats so only one or two people are out of action at a time, rather than closing the desk for a full day.
How much does finance sector staff training cost?
In-house Microsoft 365 and Copilot courses start from £695 + VAT for up to 8 attendees. Business and management skills courses start from £845 + VAT. A bespoke 1-to-1 remote day is around £495 + VAT.
Can Excel training be built around our own spreadsheets and reports?
Yes, tailoring is included. Your trainer will discuss the reports, formulas and reconciliation processes your team actually uses.
Do you offer GDPR and data-handling training relevant to financial services?
Yes, our GDPR course covers handling personal and financial data correctly, and can be tailored to your regulatory environment.
How many staff can attend a course?
Group sizes are flexible, from 1-to-1 coaching up to around 20 delegates for a classroom-style session.
Do you offer discounts for multiple courses?
Yes. Book five or more courses on a single purchase order and arrange them across the next 12 months at a discounted rate.
