Welcome to Thornton Vare Seminars

Thornton Vare Seminars is the IT training company with a difference. We specialise in running half-day, hands-off seminars that enable you to make the most of Microsoft Excel but take up less of your time.

Instead of sitting in front of a computer in a classroom, struggling with examples that you don’t really understand, or waiting for slower delegates to catch up, Microsoft Master Instructors Sue Thornton and Tony Vare will guide you through a lively demonstration of tips, tricks and shortcuts as well as powerful features you may not even know were there.

An effective alternative to traditional hands-on training, our popular seminars save you money, cut your learning time in half and at the same time increase your efficiency and productivity.

Over 7,000 delegates have attended our seminars and almost without exception they seem to love our hands-off approach.

The seminars are run under Windows and are suitable for users of Excel 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019 as well as Office 365. Detailed seminar notes, workbook and data files are emailed to each delegate after the seminar allowing them to review and practise what they have learned in their own time and at their own pace.

Alternatively, if you have a number of people who would benefit from learning more about Excel, our seminars can be run on client's premises anywhere in the UK.
