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

This course is for people who can already build a presentation and want the result to look considerably better. You will work on dynamic presentations that combine text, images, shapes, transitions, and layered objects, and get real practice with tables and charts so data-heavy slides stay readable.

The focus is on both capability and efficiency, giving you a practical toolkit rather than a tour of menus. You will prepare slides for professional delivery and handle the export and print options that matter when a deck leaves your hands. Lifetime access to a customized PowerPoint video suite is included on desktop, tablet, or mobile. PowerPoint proficiency equivalent to Level I is expected.

This course has a prerequisite

Students must have PowerPoint proficiency equivalent to our PowerPoint Level 1 (PowerPoint for Business) course which covers adding images, inserting tables and charts, working with layered options, and other basic PowerPoint functionality.
