This is the self-paced version. For live instruction, enroll in PowerPoint for Business.

This course gives you a dependable foundation in PowerPoint, covering how to build presentations that include text, images, shapes, transitions, and layered objects without the layout coming apart. You will work with tables and charts and prepare slides for an actual presentation rather than just a file that exists.

It suits beginners as well as anyone whose PowerPoint skills were assembled ad hoc. The emphasis is on efficiency as much as capability, giving you a set of techniques that noticeably speed up how you build a deck. You also get lifetime access to a custom video suite for review, on desktop, tablet, or mobile.
