These introduction and advanced links take you below to content lists of our two PowerPoint training courses.
DMW tailors the content of courses to suit the sorts of presentations for which you intend using PowerPoint and to the level of familiarty with the software that your people may already possess.
A workshop provides for intensive training for anyone needing an hour or two to catch up on certain aspects of PowerPoint without having to commit to a whole day's training.
Competence in the use of the mouse, keyboard and windows. Awareness of basic computer principles like files, folders and filing.
A couple of examples of the sorts of slide presentations that you will want to produce using PowerPoint.
If you want to do the advanced course, please check that you already know most of the techniques covered in the introductory course. There is a little time for revision, but too much of this will mean less time spent on advanced topics.
