Overview

Microsoft PowerPoint has been the industry standard for presentations for a long time, and this two-day course is designed to help you get the most out of it. On day one, you'll dig into the fundamentals through hands-on projects, learning how to build layouts, add text, images, shapes, and SmartArt, and work with tables and charts to present information in a clear, organized way.

Day two is where things get more in-depth. You'll move into advanced features that take your presentations from functional to genuinely impressive, including how to build a reusable theme or template that keeps your slides consistent and easy to update. You'll also learn how to add animations and video, and how to manage larger presentations using sections and custom shows. By the end of the course, you'll have the confidence and the toolkit to put PowerPoint to work at its full potential.
