Microsoft Powerpoint
If you are interested in receiving training in Microsoft Powerpoint, please complete the form on this page to enquire. We also provide group training for this application. For group training we first need to assess all students’ current skills. This helps us to determine exactly which topics the group requires training in. This is called gap training and we use our Needs Analysis form for this process. We have some comprehensive reference materials for these topics and are working on our free YouTube video tutorials to also include Powerpoint.
