It is believed that most of the material described in the booklet document Excel 2002 (XP) Part 1 produced by the Information Systems Division (ISD) of UCL would have been covered in IT courses at school or college. If having looked through the booklet you feel that this is not so, don't panic. Tell the demonstrators when you go to the Excel sessions and email Dr Dave Tovee at d.tovee@ucl.ac.uk with a brief note saying what parts you have and have not done before.
