Microsoft PowerPoint (2000, XP, 2003 & 2007)

Our IT training can take several forms including one-to-one, small groups and classroom sessions.

Although these are all useful in their own way, we highly recommend one-to-one coaching at your place of work, which brings several key benefits. You can ask any questions you want, you can work at your level of expertise and your speed, and any improvements we generate are still on the PC when the trainer leaves.

Wherever possible we’ll work with files you use to do your job, and use them as the focal point for the training. For example, if you have a PowerPoint presentation that you'd like to enhance we’ll work together on that.

Note:  There is a close relationship between PowerPoint training and these three modules:

Delivering brilliant presentations

Train the trainer

Train the I.T. trainer

What's PowerPoint used for? PowerPoint is part of the Microsoft Office suite of programs. You would use it to design and run slide presentations, create automated slideshows, or to produce hardcopy presentation material.

The ideal delegate is: Someone with little or no experience of using PowerPoint. Alternatively, they've been using PowerPoint for a while but feel they have started off on the wrong tack, and would like to go back to basics. The training will also suit delegates with a working knowledge of PowerPoint, but who would like to design more professional presentations perhaps with the use of sound and video. Typically, delegates will deliver presentations quite often, perhaps to clients or colleagues, or they will design presentations for others to deliver.

An extensive range of topics can be covered including: Creating a slide master Inserting objects (text, autoshapes, graphics) Editing and resizing Moving, copying and replicating Formatting Aligning, ordering and distributing (vertical and horizontal) Grouping Custom animation Adding notes Spellchecker Using pictures, sound and video Please note that this list of topics isn't exhaustive. If there's something not shown that you're interested in please get in touch and we'll do our very best to help.

Cool activities include: Loads of hints, tips and tricks that will save you heaps of time (and therefore money) while you're working with PowerPoint. Also, making the most of PowerPoint's amazing animation facility.
