Course overview
This one-day Introduction to PowerPoint workshop is ideal for anyone new to the software or looking to build confidence in creating professional presentations. You’ll learn how to design clear, engaging slides using layouts, themes and formatting tools, while also understanding how to structure your content for maximum impact.
Whether you’re preparing for team updates, workshops, or client meetings, this session will help you create visually appealing presentations and deliver them with confidence.
This Introduction to PowerPoint course can be held either in the classroom or online as Live Online Learning. The outline for both formats is the same, however the classroom session offers more time with the trainer to work on exercises, ask questions and complete activities.
This one-day workshop is perfect if you have never used PowerPoint before, or if you haven’t used PowerPoint in a long time and are feeling a bit rusty.

This course will be taught in the latest version of the software. We can train this in older versions if needed – please get in touch for more information and availability.
If you want to create a basic presentation with slides, add text and speaker’s notes to each slide, then this session can help you. You will also learn how to move around your presentation using some of the different views.
You can change the look of your slides using a standard Master Slide, for example, change a bullet list, logo or colour on the Master Slide and it will appear on all the slides in the presentation.
This session will show you how to add images and SmartArt to your slide. You will also learn how to run your presentation whilst adding a hyperlink to your website and appropriate animation and pleasing transitions.
This course is only available as a one-to-one or private group booking.
