Why Choose Mark Baglow Training

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 - not as a party trick, but for real work - so the training is genuinely practical, focused on what actually saves you time rather than clever functions you'll never touch.
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.
Practical & Interactive
Every course is full of real examples, and designed so you can immediately apply what you learn on Monday morning.
Expect discussion, group work and hands-on exercises, not death by PowerPoint.
Delivered By A Real Expert
You learn directly from me - an experienced Excel trainer - whether you join a public date or book in-house.
Small public groups mean real attention, not a lecture to a crowd of fifty.
Flexible Delivery
Join a live online public course as an individual, or bring the training in-house for your team, in person across the UK or online.
In-house content and length can be flexed to suit your requirements.
