Course Details
Microsoft PowerPoint is a powerful tool used to create professional presentations and slide shows. No other application enables you to organise, illustrate, and present your ideas with such ease and clarity - which is why Microsoft PowerPoint is the leader in professional presentation software, and why everyone who conducts meetings, presents at conferences, or conveys ideas visually over the web needs to be adept in its use.
XChange Training offer a core training course in Microsoft PowerPoint, showing you how to create clear and visually attractive overhead, paper, 35mm slide, photoprint, or on-screen presentations, including graphics, charts and animations, and speaker notes if required.
By the end of this course you'll be a confident user of Microsoft PowerPoint, fully able to create clear and professional presentations to convey your message with maximum impact.
Course Target Audience and delegate prerequisites:
The course is intended for new users of Microsoft PowerPoint who want to become productive in the shortest possible time. Delegates should be proficient in using a PC with the Microsoft Windows operating system, but no prior experience with PowerPoint is required.
