The Effective Presentations with PowerPoint course will be helpful to new and experienced presenters alike. It covers all the strategies to create professional, custom-built presentations using Microsoft PowerPoint. Effective Presentations with PowerPoint is the only training guide you will need to create cutting-edge, computer-based presentations and contains almost 5 hours of online learning. When you make a presentation, you have a short window of opportunity to make a powerful impression on your audience. PowerPoint is best used as a visual aid to reinforce the key points which you are emphasizing during the presentation. PowerPoint is a powerful presentation tool but take care not to allow it to overwhelm the message that you want to convey to your audience.

Think carefully about the key points that you want to convey and make the presentation interesting and relevant to your audience. Most of us have been to boardroom talks or seminars where we found ourselves switching off mentally simply because the speaker’s lack of presentation skills actually undermined, rather than enhanced, the message that was being delivered.
