Microsoft PowerPoint is a powerful tool designed to help you create and deliver presentations that leave a lasting impact. Whether you're presenting in a boardroom, classroom, or online, PowerPoint enables you to communicate ideas clearly and effectively through visually engaging slides. With features that allow you to add animations, tables, charts, images, and even videos, PowerPoint gives you everything needed to create simple, complex, or unforgettable presentations.

PowerPoint’s versatility extends beyond traditional presentations; it’s also ideal for trade show slideshows, visual marketing assets, or even email graphics. Our PowerPoint training course at Pringle PCS covers everything from basic slide creation to advanced design techniques, helping you gain the skills to craft professional presentations for any occasion. By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence and creativity to build compelling, polished presentations for yourself or your team.

PowerPoint Introduction: Showtime

Course Code: ITEP01 | Duration: 1 Day | Level: Introduction

This stage assumes no prior knowledge of PowerPoint. The course would be ideal for beginners or for people who are self-taught and just wish to brush up on their existing PowerPoint skills. The course begins with an overview of the program and navigation of the screen, then quickly progresses to creating a simple presentation with each slide using a different layout. Once the user has created the Presentation they will then be taught how to add the different types of Animation effects to their text, images and even graphs, and how each slide can blend into one another by using Slide Transitions. One of the best and useful parts of the course would be using Master Slides which allows the one slide image or text layout to be used throughout all slides; this can speed up the time spent on the creation and formatting of a detailed presentation. By the end of the course students will have the confidence to create professional looking slides to be used for their own or some else’s presentations.

Microsoft PowerPoint Advanced: MASTERCLASS

Course Code: ITEP02 | Duration: 1 Day | Level: Advanced

The advanced PowerPoint course is a very important course for anyone needing to take their presentations to the next level. Adding Animation to incoming text is the most common effect to add, however text and shapes or images can appear or disappear or move direction as well. Sometimes the easiest way to emphasise a topic or message is sometimes by showing less. With this course PCS will show all the effects of how they can be used effectively starting with animated organisational charts to custom animated graphs with pictures. The Question and Answer section of a presentation can sometimes be one of the hardest problems for anyone; with this course we will show how a simple slide “Any Questions” can have the capabilities of jumping to any slide in any direction which will make the presenter look prepared for any question and create an overall more professional impression. After attending this course the student will feel very capable of mastering PowerPoint enabling them to create more advanced slideshows with advanced content, using links into slides or applications as well as sound and video.
