Advanced Microsoft PowerPoint Training Course

This Microsoft PowerPoint training course introduces some of the more advanced techniques for creating professional and powerful multimedia slideshows and accompanying presentation packs, and extends upon skills acquired on our beginners PowerPoint course.

For newer versions of Powerpoint we can also cover subjects such as PowerPoint integration with Microsoft 365 and MS Teams and rehearsing your presentation with Presenter Coach.

Email us or call 0844 493 3699 to find out more about booking Microsoft PowerPoint training for your team.


If you only require selected topics then there is also the option to combine PowerPoint with half a day of other traditional Microsoft Office packages such as Word or Outlook.

The modern PowerPoint application is so much more than its historic reputation for tedious and unengaging bullet point slideshows.


These days Microsoft PowerPoint is a powerful, feature rich, integrated multimedia platform that you can use to publish, broadcast, report or live present (in-person or virtually) with precision layout formatting, built-in rehearsal functionality and integration with Teams, Zoom and Webex for presenters.


Learning PowerPoint well can really help you to engage and connect with your audience.
