The course is aimed at all UW/H students. The prerequisite for participation is your own laptop with an installed Excel version (from 2010). However, we recommend getting the latest Excel version. Every student can download this free of charge at www.office.com.

Only students who can attend one of the dates without interruption will be admitted to the course.

The course takes place in presence. A maximum of 20 people are admitted. Places will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
Registration is required. The registration deadline for the extension course is 17.06.2026.

Important note: Registration is binding. A cancellation fee of €30 will be charged for unexcused absences. This regulation has proven its worth, as in the past it has happened that courses were considered fully booked and interested students could no longer get a place. In reality, however, some registered students were unable to attend without canceling, leaving places unused.
