Microsoft PowerPoint Course Testimonials
Shammi Gargoi
MS Powerpoint is a software that I have been exposed to from an younger age and have played around it for long. So when I came across this basic Microsoft Powerpoint 2016 course on this site I was little apprehensive about taking it as in what can I learn from it. But after undertook the course I realised there is a difference between learning software just by fiddling around with it and taking a proper training with it. So a formal training is always better. The way the Trainer has explained it, its very easy to understand and many things I learnt which I did not know of before.
Susan Collins
My boss always asks me to prepare his slides so have got used to Microsoft PowerPoint that way. But again nothing should be attempted with an half hearted attempted or half empty bucket of knowledge. So when I came across this Microsoft PowerPoint course on this site I felt let me just spend some time and learn this course. May be I have something new to learn. And yes I must say after I have finished the course I have started to view PowerPoint with a new outlook. I no longer wait for Boss to tell me what all I can do with the slides but I tell him what all can be done and how the presentation can be made better. So effectively my Boss is impressed with me and am hoping for a raise now.

So yes this course has helped me a lot
Yang Lin
In China, you have to be very particular about everything and precision matters a lot so I am very keen to learn every technology that I can use in detail so that I can use it optimally. When I came to the States I realised one of the main ways to communicate with business associates and colleagues is via PowerPoint presentations. Fact is you cant do a proper presentation or report without it. So me being very particular about whatever I do I felt I must learn this software properly. So when I saw this course in this site I decided to do it then and there. After I finished the course I am very confident of working with Microsoft PowerPoint now a days and I hardly make any presentation without it. So yeah its a must learn course I feel.
