Elevate every presentation — from slide structure and design principles to animations, collaboration and AI-assisted creation with Copilot.
Book This Session →Microsoft PowerPoint is the standard for business presentations — now enhanced with Designer for automatic layouts, Presenter Coach for rehearsal and Copilot for generating entire decks from a prompt. Modern PowerPoint is far more than bullet lists on slides; it's a storytelling, design and live-presenting platform.
It's best used for leadership updates, sales pitches, internal training, town halls, client-facing proposals and any story that benefits from visual structure. Leadership, sales, marketing, L&D, HR and anyone presenting regularly benefits most. PowerPoint solves the widespread problem of decks that are slow to build, inconsistent in brand, and painful to present — by combining templates, design intelligence and Copilot into a faster, more polished way to build and deliver presentations that actually land.
A focused session designed to build real-world skills fast.
We begin with the PowerPoint interface and its views — Normal, Outline, Slide Sorter and Presenter — so you always know the fastest way to work. Then we create presentations from scratch and from templates, and manage slides fluently by inserting, duplicating, reordering, hiding and grouping them into sections.
Applying and customising themes — colours, fonts and backgrounds — then stepping up to slide layouts and the Slide Master, the single biggest lever for consistent branding across a deck. We also tidy up text with proper formatting, alignment, bullets and text boxes.
Bringing slides to life with images, icons and stock photos — including removing image backgrounds and applying picture styles for a polished look. We add structure with shapes, SmartArt and tables, and insert and format charts, linking them from Excel where the data already lives.
Using movement with intent: slide transitions with sensible types and timing, then entrance, emphasis, exit and motion-path animations sequenced and controlled through the Animation Pane. We also add hyperlinks and action buttons to build genuinely interactive presentations.
Preparing to present with speaker notes and Presenter View — notes, slide preview and timer — including presenting live in Microsoft Teams. We finish responsibly: running the Accessibility Checker and adding alt text, collaborating through co-authoring, comments and version history, and exporting to PDF, video, images or a PowerPoint Show.
