Introduction to Microsoft PowerPoint Training Course

This is a beginners PowerPoint Course with added oomph.

What do you mean ‘added oomph’ in PowerPoint?

There is so much more to PowerPoint than static presenting and this PowerPoint course is packed with information about how to make a presentation crack. 

Work with and understand design, structure, colour and type to help bring your brand together. Leave non-linear presenting including bullet points behind and use action buttons and zooms to navigate through the slides.

Learn how to add a live talking head feed AKA a cameo video and find out how the design side works giving you eye-catching, non-linear and very professional looking presentations.
