We hope to be working with you in the near future so it is important that you know who you are employing.
Below, you will read our amazing journey to stellar achievements. You can tell by our clients that we have 'been around the traps' and with the testimonials below, you can start to piece together a picture of us.
Back in 1999 — before Y2K fizzled and dial-up was still a thing — Top Ideas & Solutions was launched. Its purpose? Solve business problems in creative and practical ways. That legacy continues to this day.
As we worked with businesses, it became clear there was a major knowledge gap when it came to Excel. Traditional classroom training was too generic, too far away, or just too expensive for most teams.
So we flipped the script. We began visiting worksites, delivering custom Excel sessions using the tools people already used—and the results were instant. Real-world, real files, real outcomes.
Suddenly, companies were getting team-wide training at the price of one or two offsite attendees. Productivity rose. Managers were praised. Budgets were stretched further than ever.
Compare these prices or this provider for a single seat in a standard Excel course class with one of our esteemed competitors. Our fees include up to 8 people in the course (not a single person as the links provided suggest). And 8 is only a recommended number of learners - you can have more but the amount of content covered will be reduced. But rather than 'class' structured, step by step content, we will customise the training to suit your needs - that is our niche. Shop around - do your due diligence. Then talk to us — we’ll surprise you (in a good way).
Today, Top Ideas & Solutions still offers tech problem-solving, but Excel Training Adelaide now handles all training and automation projects.
