About Data Insight Training

Developing the data skills of business users - and now, the AI skills that sit alongside them.

Built for business users, from the start

Data Insight Training has always focused on one thing: developing the data skills of business users. Not programmers, not data scientists - the finance analysts, operations managers and report builders who do the real day-to-day work in Excel. Over 398,000 learners worldwide have taken that training, and the same clear, step-by-step approach now goes directly into organisations as live corporate training.

AI-enabled work is a new paradigm, and Excel users need to learn it. Tools like Copilot in Excel change how questions get asked, how formulas get built and how quickly raw data becomes an answer. This is not about replacing skills - it is about enhancing what users are capable of doing. The people who get the most from AI are the ones who understand their data and their tools well enough to direct it.

That is also why the Power Tools still matter. Pivot Tables, Power Query and Power Pivot remain extremely important to what a user can achieve in Excel - and for many everyday jobs they are simply quicker than using AI. A refreshable query or a well-built pivot beats re-prompting for the same answer every month. The strongest teams combine both: solid core skills, with AI multiplying what they can do.
