LMAO @ "The training will be facilitated by a Microsoft recognized Excel Expert and the only Microsoft Excel MVP in Africa (there are just about 125 in the world)."

I'm a Microsoft Excel MVP and I'm Nigerian! So what you mean there's only 1 Microsoft Excel MVP in the whole of Africa??!!

This is why you can't trust anything you read advertised on blogs.

I'll like to know the amount being charged though..., so I can probably create & host a training session as well. :)
