PowerPoint is a tool for creating presentations quickly and professionally. This fast paced, half-day course starts with the basics but by the end you'll be able to include images, graphs and organisation charts, and apply slide animation and transition effects to your presentation.
Please be aware that while the course covers most of the syllabus for the ICDL Presentations module some additional learning may be needed.
Who should attend?
