FAQ's
We know team training comes with a lot of questions, who, what, how many, when, where, and sometimes even why. To save you a few clicks (and a few minutes), we’ve pulled together the most common ones we get from other HR managers, L&D teams, and people just like you.
Where can this Microsoft PowerPoint Intermediate/Advanced training be delivered?
PowerPoint Intermediate/Advanced training can be run in your office, live online, or as a blended model. Face-to-face sessions work well for practical, hands-on coaching, while online delivery makes it easy for staff in different locations to join. Whichever option you choose, we’ll ensure the experience is engaging and interactive.
How many staff can attend a Microsoft PowerPoint Intermediate/Advanced training session?
Medium-sized groups work particularly well at this level, giving participants time to explore the more advanced features while still receiving trainer support. We’ll provide guidance on the best group size, but we’ll always adapt to your team’s circumstances.
Can we schedule the Microsoft PowerPoint Intermediate/Advanced training at a time that suits us?
Yes, you can choose a schedule that works best for your organisation. A full-day session allows us to cover intermediate and advanced tools in detail, but the course can also be split into shorter sessions if that’s easier for your staff. Our priority is making training convenient without compromising the content.
What will my team be able to do after the Microsoft PowerPoint Intermediate/Advanced course?
Participants will learn how to create professional presentations using more advanced features such as slide masters, custom animations, multimedia integration, and interactive elements. They’ll gain the skills to build polished, engaging slides that stand out and communicate effectively. The course is about turning PowerPoint into a powerful storytelling tool rather than just a slide creator.
Do participants need any prior knowledge of Microsoft PowerPoint?
Yes, this course assumes learners already know the basics of creating and editing slides. That foundation ensures they can focus on mastering more advanced techniques without feeling overwhelmed.
Can the Microsoft PowerPoint Intermediate/Advanced training content be customised to our needs?
Yes. We can tailor the training to your organisation’s requirements, such as designing slides that reflect your branding or working with actual presentations your team is preparing. This ensures the training is immediately useful and practical.
Will staff receive a certificate of completion?
Yes, every participant will receive a digital certificate on completion of the course. This is a professional record of their achievement and can be shared internally or added to their LinkedIn profile.
Do you provide support after the Microsoft PowerPoint Intermediate/Advanced training?
Yes, lifetime support is included. Staff can contact us later if they need help applying advanced tools or have questions about a presentation they’re building. That way, the skills from training keep adding value long after the session.
