Description

PowerPoint is standard, powerful slide show presentation software you can use to share information and data about the work of your small charity or community organisation to your many audiences.

Creating and giving presentations is a key skill for many roles. You may be asked to share a presentation at local networks and forums, with your local authority or health colleagues, or talk about your work at a fundraising event.

PowerPoint: Beginners is for staff and volunteers who need to give presentations in their everyday work, and do not know how to use PowerPoint. You will learn how navigate your way around PowerPoint, set up a basic presentation and give a slideshow using basic controls.

You can also book a 1:1 with the tutor after the training to complete your presentation and practice presenting.

This forms part of our Digital Foundations programme https://superhighways.org.uk/training-advice-and-technical/digital-basics
