Why this program matters

  • Without mastering the fundamentals of Visual Basic for automation and desktop applications, your manual tasks in the Microsoft environment consume up to 12 hours per week per employee.

  • An average company thus loses 45 000 € annually in wasted productivity, with 35 % of data errors and operational incidents directly attributable to the lack of VBA automation.

  • Your competitiveness collapses, exposing your career to obsolescence and your team to cumulative delays that threaten business objectives.

  • Every month without these skills increases the risks, turning isolated losses into structural crises.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your the Fundamentals of 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.
