Course Reviews

PowerPoint Course Reviews

Just completed the Beginners Powerpoint course with Martin. Very good course, and well laid out, covering a lot of information. Martin is a very good presenter who explains things in a clear and concise manner and because you are actually doing the exercises, not just reading a presentation, it helps things to sink in. Really enjoyed the course and come away with a much better understanding of PowerPoint and how it works. Would definitely recommend”
