A good presentation starts long before the first slide. Learn to structure, design and deliver decks people actually follow, and then take PowerPoint a long way past slides.
Outcomes
Curriculum
11 modules and 130 lessons, with around 48 hours of video. Work through them in order, at your own pace.
Portfolio
A certificate proves you finished. The work you build along the way is what gets you hired.
A full proposal deck built from a brief, with an animated simulation of the product running inside it.
A presentation that runs unattended, navigated by buttons you build, with a working quiz inside it.
A complete template with its own illustrations, icons and colour scheme, built from a written specification.
Fit
When not to buy this course
If your slides are fine and it is the speaking that worries you, our Business Communication course is the better fit. And if you present once a year, a good free template may be all you need.
Good to know
There is a genuinely free version that runs in a browser with a free Microsoft account, no card and no trial, and it carries you through a good deal of this course. The heavier work wants the installed application, which is paid: the advanced picture and object editing in module 2, some of the animation and trigger work, the video export in module 7, and saving a template. Start free and pay when you reach something the browser will not do. If you would rather use Google's free tools, look at our Google Docs, Sheets & Slides course.
It helps with the part most talks get wrong: a clear structure and slides that support you rather than compete with you. Delivery is covered, but if speaking itself is your main goal, Business Communication goes deeper.
Yes. It assumes nothing beyond basic computer skills and starts with installing PowerPoint and finding your way around the interface. It is a video course: you watch each lesson, and the written notes underneath it are there to build along with, with practice questions on roughly half the lessons.
Yes. The design principles apply to any template. The course shows you how to work well within a brand template, and how to build your own from scratch.
130 lessons across 11 modules, about 48 hours of video, with written notes under every one and an interactive question on 65 of them. Eleven checkpoints of eight questions and a 20-question final assessment at 80 per cent. It goes a long way past slide design: two complete presentation projects, a chapter on user experience, interactive and kiosk decks, accessibility, a business proposal, four and a half hours on making animated video in PowerPoint, two template builds, digital art, and two modules on using AI to research, draft, illustrate and assemble a deck.
No. Nothing is downloaded and nothing needs to be. Every exercise is built from a blank presentation, and where a lesson uses something from the internet, the written notes name a route that costs nothing.
Because it is assembled from three recorded courses. Lesson 3.4 calls itself the last lesson of the course and eight modules follow it; lesson 10.9 is a congratulations message with twenty lessons still to come. Neither means you have finished, the later material is not filler, and the written notes say so at each join. Module 11 in particular is a complete second course on AI-assisted presentation work and is the newest material here.
