Take this course to learn how to create beautiful, professional presentations using the full power of Microsoft PowerPoint. Participants will explore best practices for visual design, audience engagement, and presentation delivery while mastering both basic and advanced PowerPoint features. Through hands-on exercises and guided instruction, learners will practice using styles, templates, artwork, and multimedia to craft visually compelling slides. Whether you are new to PowerPoint or self-taught and ready to advance your skills, this two-day course will give you the confidence and tools to design dynamic, audience-ready presentations with impact.
This two-day PowerPoint training covers everything from building your first slides to designing and delivering polished presentations. On day one you learn the Ribbon, tabs and toolbars, create presentations from templates or blank layouts, work in Normal, Slide Sorter, Outline and Reading views, and organize slides. You then format text and bullets, convert text to SmartArt, apply themes and color schemes, and work with shapes, effects, grouping and alignment.
Day two focuses on design and delivery. You edit slide masters and layouts, add logos, dates, slide numbers and footers, customize backgrounds, and insert tables, charts, WordArt, SmartArt and organization charts. You also save custom templates, apply transitions and animations, set timings for self-running presentations, run and annotate a live slide show, create custom shows, and print slides, handouts and notes.
