Meet Your Trainer
Mark Baglow
Hi, I'm Mark. When you book this course, you get me – not an associate, not a script read off a slide.
I use Excel every day to run my business and when I deliver training. I've seen how hundreds of people use Excel across many different industries. My training focuses on the most useful tools and features - not just theory.
I've spent fifteen years in the world of education, training and development. During my career I learned the thing that still shapes every course I run: people don't remember what you tell them, they remember what they do.
My training is practical, hands-on and refreshingly jargon-free – real tools you'll use on Monday morning, not dry theory you'll have forgotten by lunch.
I'm a certified DISC analyst, and I've designed and delivered leadership, management and communication training across sectors including education, software and financial services.
I'm based in Birmingham – right in the middle of the country – so I can reach you easily for in-person training anywhere in the UK, or even internationally! I also provide live online training if that suits you better.
I keep my business deliberately personal: you deal with me directly, from first enquiry to post-course follow-up, and every session is built around your people and your real-world challenges.
