Frequently asked questions

Will this training improve our team's ability to create visually engaging slides?

Yes, our slide-deck skills training course will teach your team how to create visually engaging slides that convey messages clearly and memorably. You’ll learn the essentials of PowerPoint writing, including the use of white space and active verbs, and understand the importance of visual messages over bullet points. This training is ideal for teams looking to enhance their presentation skills and make a strong impact on their audience.

How is AI covered in this course?

We look at slide generator tools such as Gamma, Beautiful.AI and Copilot. We assess what they do well (speed, visual polish) and where they fall short (generic wording, text-heavy slides, can’t relate to your specific audience). We explain how to get the best from these tools.
