PowerPoint Productivity

Overview:
The PowerPoint course you wish you'd taken years ago. Anyone who feels they constantly have their head stuck in PowerPoint, grappling with boxes and pictures as they face a presentation deadline, needs this course! The shortcuts, hacks, and workarounds you will learn will save you hours and extend your capabilities, enabling you to produce the documentation you and your team need fast.

By the end of this course, you'll be a PowerPoint master! You'll learn how to design eye-catching presentations that pop with cool formatting and layouts and spice up your content with awesome icons and pictures.

Content:

  • Discover quick fixes for all the things that drive you nuts in PowerPoint. There will be light bulb moments that will save you hours. Really! There will.
  • Learn layout and formatting basics. Discover how to put lots of information on a page but keep it readable and organised. Be your graphic design specialist.
  • Find where to source free and paid icons and how to use them to grab the attention of a busy multitasking audience.
  • Learn how to manipulate images. You will be shown where to source avatar-style images to enhance training material, re-colouring backgrounds and adding special effects to make pictures stand out.
  • Sourcing and manipulating photographs, and removing and extending backgrounds. Learn about resizing, cropping and re-colouring photographs.
  • Quickly create graphics to present complex road maps, timelines and customer journeys. Your new skills will help your audience more easily understand project complexities.

Who should attend?
Anyone who is using PowerPoint and wants to learn tips and tricks to elevate their slide decks to better deliver vital messaging.

This course is not suitable for those new to PowerPoint, but is aimed at users with a basic understanding and knowledge gaps. 

This is an online instructor-led session. The facilitator will demonstrate functionality via screen sharing, and you'll be given exercises to practice your skills and can ask questions. You'll receive follow-up notes, quick reference guides and a copy of the presentation for future reference.
