Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 Training

Course Description

Take advantage of the variety of tools to create presentations that stand out from the crowd, and also don’t consume all of your available time.

Target Student:

This course is intended for students who have a foundational working knowledge of PowerPoint 2013, who wish to take advantage of the application’s higher-level usability, security, collaboration, and distribution functionality.

Prerequisites:

Meetings, instruction, training; these are all a part of our daily lives. We are often called upon to deliver presentations with little notice, at multiple venues, and with varying requirements. And, some of these presentations include sensitive information that needs to be guarded. Given all the variables, it may seem an overwhelming task to deliver your content, on time, to all audiences, and to only those who need to see it. Without the help of a robust set of tools, it would be nearly impossible. But, PowerPoint 2013 provides you with a variety of such tools that can help you deliver content in nearly any situation, while saving time and effort. By taking advantage of these tools, you will be creating presentations that not only stand out from the crowd, but also don’t consume all of your available time.
