Intermediate (PP-02)

Course Overview

The Intermediate Microsoft POWERPOINT course is one of a number of one-day courses we offer to those wishing to learn how to use Microsoft Office applications efficiently and effectively to produce professional-looking presentations for different purposes, e.g. training.
On this course, delegates will learn how to create more sophisticated and professional-looking presentations.  We introduce SMARTART, copying data from other applications, inserting audio and video, creating timings and transitions, grouping and objects, and hyperlinks.
