If you’re looking for a good starting point with Excel, this is it. The mystery of calculations will dissolve and getting everything to fit on the right number of pages will become a few seconds work. You will have a spreadsheet up and running with calculations within an hour and by lunchtime you’ll be happy duplicating a number of different calculations across the spreadsheet. Formatting columns, text and numbers will ensure the spreadsheet looks good on the screen, and will still look good when fitted to a page with headers and footers for printing. Tips, tricks and shortcuts abound and we can’t resist squeezing in a quick chart at the end of the day, just to show how easy it is. You will learn:

• The Excel screen – The proper names for components of the screen and how to use them
• Spreadsheet basics – Entering and editing information along with saving as various file types
• AutoFill – Filling calculations, dates and text based lists such as months of the year
• Calculations – Add, subtract, multiply, divide and percentages
• Functions – Sum, Average, Min and Max
• Formatting – Column & row, numbers, date and time as well as text
• Printing – Scaling up and down to fit a page along with headers and footers
• Working with larger spreadsheets – Freezing and splitting the screen

COVD-19 Safe; we know the current importance of social distancing. In response, we have created a new structure for this Food Safety qualification.

Supervisory staff in any catering or manufacturing business, who are involved in the implementation of food safety management systems, and the direct supervision of staff. Owners and managers of smaller businesses would also benefit from the course. If you’re unsure, contact us.   HOW WILL THE COURSE BE DELIVERED? We send all the relevant materials prior to the first session, including the traditional coursebook. Learning is spread over four, 2- hour live webinars, delivered from our No.8 training facilities. Delegates must attend all the live sessions and complete the work assigned to qualify for the assessment at the end of the course.   WHY REDCAT? Tutors Sarah, Danielle and Richard, as chartered Environmental Health Officers have extensive knowledge attained 80+ years of experience. We deliver the knowledge, retention, understanding and behaviour change that supervisors require, something traditional e-learning can’t guarantee.   HOW DO I BOOK?

Welcome to the Nuclear Safety Culture and Behaviours programme.

This practical course is designed for Supply Chain supervisors and other persons who are, or are about to be, responsible for planning, organising, monitoring, controlling and supervising teams on a nuclear construction project.

It is about getting ready to work on a nuclear construction project. The course will look at the behavioural aspects of work and provide you with a head start on understanding what nuclear safety culture is.

The course focuses on behaviours which positively impact safety, quality and productivity in supply and construction. In particular we will discuss how to implement the behaviours required to build a nuclear safety culture both today and for tomorrow.

It highlights the need for effective leadership, teamwork, performance management and the importance of adequate communication to sustain a health and safety culture within the whole workforce. It promotes a culture that accepts that mistakes can be made, admitted to and rectified, so that lessons learnt can be implemented, leading to a positive culture for safety from design through build and on to production and operation.

Programme Aims – leaders must:

• Keeps themselves, their team and the environment safe • Look out for others and report safety issues • Work to quality plans and understand why ‘right first time’ is essential • Do the right thing when no-one is watching • Take ownership and provide effective leadership • Keep teams productive and motivated

Programme Two: Module one takes place on 20th and 21st May and module two on 10th and 11th June

In an ever-increasingly complex and interconnected world the consequences of getting things wrong can be dramatic, far-reaching and very expensive. Yet with the benefit of hindsight, the causes of many failures and sub-optimal performance can often appear obvious, so why were they not picked up in the design phase?

Systems Thinking is an incredibly powerful approach to handling complexity, providing an insight and understanding. By treating real-world things (products, processes, services, organizations) as systems, we can systematically build a holistic view of any challenge, allowing us to solve previously unsolvable problems, exploit opportunities and prevent the occurrence of issues.

The purpose of this half-day awareness session is to demonstrate the power of applying Systems Thinking to design. The session is free to attend and will be delivered by Burge Hughes Walsh Limited

Burge Hughes Walsh Limited provide advice, training and project support in product and service design. Their client list includes Dyson, BAE Systems, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, LG, Vestas, GE, HMRC, Fife Council, Aberdeenshire Council, Companies House, NHS Digital to name a few.
