What previous participants have said:

On Essentials course only:

• The session provided us with very useful information and essential skills about PowerPoint and I could learn how to formulate a clean and clear PowerPoint.
• Detailed instructions and tips were given on best practice while using PP.
• This has given me more confidence to present in front of colleagues.

On combined Essentials and Advanced Skills courses

• The session would be very useful to someone who regularly uses PowerPoint for their teaching/research presentations who not only wants to improve the graphic aspects of their visual materials but is also interested in exploring ways to organise and deliver information that make it more engaging for their audience.
• I learned how to use the PowerPoint presentation as a better communication tool.
• I've been using PowerPoint for 15 years which should be long enough to know everything about it, but I realised that's far from the truth by attending this session.

Please note this course is not open to those on undergrauate or taught post-graduate programs.
