What Courses Are Available on stl-training.co.uk?

Updated

STL Training offers instructor-led courses in four main areas: Microsoft Excel (from introduction to VBA and financial modelling), wider MS Office and Microsoft 365 applications, AI tools such as Copilot and ChatGPT, and professional development including management, leadership, and sales/customer service. Courses are delivered face-to-face or online, in London, across the UK, and internationally. The site states that public courses are never cancelled and that 99.26% of training objectives are met.

Excel courses

The Excel catalogue is the deepest on the site, covering both general skills and specialist finance work:

  • Core levels: Introduction, Intermediate, Advanced, Advanced – Formulas & Functions, and Advanced – For Power Users
  • Data and analysis: Charting, Forecasting & Data Analysis, PivotTables, PowerPivot
  • Automation and modelling: VBA Introduction, VBA Intermediate, VBA Advanced, Financial Modelling, and Excel for Finance Professionals

This range suits anyone progressing from basic spreadsheet use to building models or automating reports. If you are unsure where to start, the level names map fairly directly onto prior experience: Introduction assumes little or no Excel use, while the Advanced – For Power Users and VBA courses assume regular, hands-on use.

MS Office and Microsoft 365

Beyond Excel, the site lists courses in:

  • Power BI
  • MS Copilot
  • PowerPoint, Access, Word, MS Project, Visio, Outlook and Teams
  • Microsoft 365 and SharePoint

These are listed as separate course topics rather than one combined package, so you can book the specific application you need. Power BI sits alongside the Excel data courses, which is useful if your reporting work spans both tools.

AI and Copilot courses

The AI offering includes:

  • Introduction to Microsoft 365 Copilot
  • Copilot for Advanced Users
  • Microsoft Copilot Explained
  • Microsoft Copilot Engage
  • Microsoft Copilot Champions
  • ChatGPT for Busy Decision Makers
  • ChatGPT for Professionals

The Copilot courses are tiered from introductory to champion-level, so the choice depends on whether you are new to the tool, using it daily, or expected to support colleagues. The ChatGPT courses are aimed at decision makers and professionals rather than developers.

Professional development, management and sales

The site lists 70+ professional development courses and 50+ management courses. Named examples include:

Category Example courses

The full catalogue is browsable by category on the site, which is the quickest way to confirm a specific course and its scheduled dates before booking.

How to choose

Start with the outcome you need: a specific application skill (pick from the Excel, MS Office or AI lists), a management or interpersonal capability (pick from the management and professional development lists), or customer-facing skills (sales and customer service). Then check the course level against your current experience and look at the public schedule for dates. For teams, the site also advertises on-site training, which may suit groups needing the same skills at once.
