Default Best way to solve my issue

I am trying to solve a speadsheet issue with formula's but i think it may be
too difficult, and i may have to do it in vba.

Not sure how to go about this though:

This is HOW my data is stored:

Sheet 1
Stores data of training modules setup for use, including the Module Title in
Column A and other data across each row for each separate Module.

Sheet 2
Stores data of training that has been carried out.
Each training completed is stored in a new row.
Starting with the Module Title in Column A,
The employee name in Column D, and
The Date Completed in Column AD.

Sheet 3
This is a spreadsheet i want to setup for a visual guide to who has/has not
been trained.

I have the Module Titles that have been entered into the Sheet1 Column A
Displayed in Column A in Sheet 3.

I have then listed ALL employees in Row 1 Starting from Column B across to
S.

So i now have a List of Module Titles down the Column A Left Hand side of
the Page and Employee Names Acrooss the Top of the Page.
I Now want to LOOKUP the data that exists in Sheet 2 and Display the Date(IF
Carried Out) in the Corresponding Cell for the Module Name and Employee's
Name in the SpreadSheet.

This is the part i am having difficulty in doing.

Basically the principal is as follows:

IF(SHEET3 MODULE TITLE = SHEET2 COLUMN A MODULE TITLE, and SHEET2 EMPLOYEE
NAME=SHEET3 EMPLOYEE NAME, and SHEET2 COMPLETED DATE <""),SHEET3 CELL =
COMPLETED DATE,"")

So i want the DATE the training was done(Sheet2 Column AD Value) to be
displayed in Sheet3, otherwise leave the cell empty.

There are times when there WILL be a Module Title AND Employee Name in
Sheet2, but NO DATE, as this would indicate Training has ocured, but not
Completed with a Date added YET.
So in this case the Date would ONLY be displayed in Sheet3 WHEN there exists
a Date in the Sheet2.

Any pointers to carry this out the best way?
