Spreadsheet Skills for Planning, Forecasting & Budgeting

Modern organisations depend heavily on spreadsheets for planning, forecasting, and budgeting activities. Weak model design, poor data validation, and limited analytical skills can lead to inaccurate projections, inefficient resource allocation, and unreliable financial decisions.

The Spreadsheet Skills for Planning, Forecasting & Budgeting course by LPC Training equips participants with advanced techniques to design, manage, and evaluate financial planning models using Excel. Over five focused days, participants learn how to build robust planning structures, apply forecasting methods, conduct scenario analysis, and develop flexible budgeting systems.

This course focuses on real business and financial planning environments. Participants will explore best practices in model documentation, optimisation tools, variance analysis, and automation techniques. By the end of the programme, participants will be able to create reliable, transparent, and decision-oriented spreadsheet models that support effective organisational planning.
