Is Microsoft VBA difficult to learn?

By gocourses 15 Sep 2019

With the right training, learning Microsoft VBA is easy. The Microsoft VBA Introduction course makes it easy to learn VBA primarily for Excel. There’s also an Advanced VBA training course if you’re looking for a higher difficulty level.

What is VBA?

VBA stands for “Visual Basic for Applications”, and is a programming language developed by Microsoft. With VBA you can develop programs that control Microsoft Excel and Access, as well as other programs in Microsoft Office.

It’s important to note that VBA is not the same as VB, which stands for Visual Basic. While VBA and VB have plenty in common, they are different languages and allow you to create different executable programs. Having VB knowledge or experience can be handy if you’re looking to learn VBA, but it’s not essential.

With online learning becoming popular, you may assume that taking a Udemy course or similar is the easiest way to learn Microsoft VBA. But attending training in a face to face environment and learning from a live instructor is proven to be the best way to learn a skill quickly and efficiently.

As specialists in instructor-led IT training, Go.Courses have Microsoft VBA courses available in locations all over the UK and Europe and the training can be delivered in as little as 2 days. Here’s an overview of the Microsoft Office VBA Introduction course.
