Microsoft PowerPoint Training Creates Great Presentations

By Craig Friesen
Computer Training Schools Columnist

Want to impress your boss and give your resume a major boost? PowerPoint training and certification can show you how to become a truly dynamic presenter.

Hone your Presentation Skills with PowerPoint Training

You may have already discovered PowerPoint. You may have even played around with the applications a little bit-but trial and error will not help you discover the most efficient ways to build striking presentations. PowerPoint training and certification, however, can give you a good foundation of the basic workings of the program.

Microsoft-authorized training will teach you to make the most of PowerPoint and create tight presentations. You can:
  • Learn how to use and create templates to save time and maximize the continuity of your presentation.
  • Make the most of the different views including multiple page views, single page view, and slide show.
  • Understand what the "outline" is and how it can be used to make your presentation more effective.
  • Get a grip on the timeline tool so you can use it to full advantage in helping to bring your presentation together.
  • Create effective charts and tables to enhance the impact of presentations.

Multimedia Design Features

In addition, PowerPoint training can show you how to use text, graphics, animations, and music to best effect. Placing text in PowerPoint in a variety of ways is fun and interesting to those watching the presentation. Multimedia features can go a long way to holding your audience's attention. But these effects should ultimately enhance, not overshadow, your presentation. PowerPoint certification will introduce you to the basic principles of graphic design.

Learning these fundamental skills in your PowerPoint training can help you refine your presentation design expertise. Also, by passing your PowerPoint 2003 skills exam, you'll be one step closer to attaining your Microsoft Office Specialist Certification.
