Why this program matters

  • Without mastery of Visual Basic for automation in Windows or Excel, your repetitive manual tasks consume 20 to 30 hours per week per employee, crippling productivity.

  • Companies pay the steep price: up to 45 000 € in annual losses from wasted time and errors, of which 65 % of automation incidents stem from faulty coding.

  • Your career is at risk—promotions blocked against peers who automate in minutes, while the company faces fatal competitive lag.

  • Each month without these skills amplifies data leaks and delays, jeopardizing your position and business survival.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Becoming Operational in Visual Basic training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
