	      | Who is this course designed for? | 
	      
              
            This course is designed for those who need to present data and ideas
            in a clear and meaningful manner. They will already have a good
            working knowledge of Word and understand some of the basics like Cut
            & Paste.

             The "Making PowerPoint Sparkle" course is
            for those with a good working knowledge of the standard features and
            who now want to exploit the full potential of PowerPoint. 
           | 
        
        
	      | What will they learn? | 
	      
              
            They will learn the basics of creating slides in slide view,
            rearranging them in the slide sorter view and how to screen a
            presentation effectively. The course covers creating a simple
            outline, choosing a suitable background theme, adding titles, text
            and bullet points, inserting and formatting graphic images and
            clipart and choosing the appropriate slide layout  for each
            slide. 
              Slide transitions and animations are introduced to allow eye-catching
            screen shows with manual or rehearsed timings.  
             
             
           | 
	      
             They will learn how to manipulate and edit clipart
            and graphics, move graphic elements around the screen, add sound and
            navigation buttons to the screen show, work in the slide master view
            and to use the vast library of special effects to their best
            advantage. 
              Advanced presentation techniques are explored and each
            delegate will produce his or her own slide show with graphs, charts
            and live links to other files.

	      | How will they benefit? | 
	      
             By the end of the course each delegate will have
            produced a PowerPoint presentation, with dynamic transitions and
            animations, and will have the confidence to tackle most of the
            standard features required for a professional looking screen
            show.  
           | 
	      
             By the end of the course each delegate will have
            produced several PowerPoint presentations, using many of the more
            advanced features available to power users, and will be more
            confidant about presenting in front of an audience.  
           | 
        
        
	      | Where will the course be held? | 
	      
             On your premises to avoid high travelling
            costs for your staff and to learn in a familiar PC environment.
            Courses are available in PowerPoint
            2000, PowerPoint 2003
            and PowerPoint 2007.   | 
        
        
	      | Is it expensive? | 
	      
             No.
            With a group of six the cost per delegate could be as little as £50
            each. Detailed and illustrated notes accompany each course. Other
            content can be introduced by arrangement.  | 
        
        
	      | Are there any other PowerPoint courses? | 
	      
             Yes. We can structure a course, or a
            series of courses, to accommodate your exact needs. You might want
            to design your own company templates and master slides for others to
            use or to link PowerPoint with data held in Word or Excel.
