Surman s.r.o.

We teach your people to work efficiently in Excel!

We train your staff to get their work done faster with Microsoft Office: above all Excel, but also Word, PowerPoint and Access.

We have extensive experience of hands-on training for auditors, tax advisers, accountants, economists, administrative staff, managers and lawyers, and we can prepare training tailored entirely to you. The emphasis is not on the tools and functions themselves but on the speed and efficiency with which you use them: we do not want you to know every Excel function, but we teach you a handful of them so thoroughly that your work becomes much easier.
