It is a document projected on a wall.
The deck has eleven bullets on the slide and someone is reading them aloud. Everyone in the room finished reading forty seconds ago and is now on their phone. That is the default outcome of PowerPoint, because the default template is a document template with a projector attached.
This class is about the alternative. Participants learn what a slide is for, which is supporting a person who is speaking, and build decks accordingly. It is the most immediately visible training on this page: the difference shows up in the next meeting.
Marketing, communications, and operations staff take this because they present and were never taught to. HR uses it in onboarding where presenting is part of the role. It covers building the deck; the speaking side is Presentation Skills for the Workplace.
Content, examples, and exercises are built around your own files and workflows before delivery. Most groups train live online, and on-site in-person delivery is available by request. This class is available by request only, with a three participant minimum, and sits alongside our other Microsoft Office training.

Course outline
How the workshop runs
Every session is live with a real instructor, and the exercises are built around your team's work.
The first session is why decks fail and what a slide is actually for. Participants learn that a slide someone can read is a slide they will read instead of listening to you, and rebuild one of their own accordingly. Most cut two thirds of the text and immediately see the difference.
The middle is construction. Layouts and the slide master, so a deck is consistent by design rather than by someone manually matching fonts. Working with images and shapes without them drifting. Building a template the team can use so every deck does not start from a blank slide.
The final session is data and delivery. Showing a number so a room understands it: chart choice, cutting the decoration, and titling a slide with the finding rather than the topic. Then presenting: presenter view, notes, transitions used sparingly, and exporting a version to send that works without you narrating it.

Microsoft Office training
Microsoft Office training for employees
Excel is the tool most teams use every day and the one fewest people were ever taught. DWC builds Microsoft Office training for employees in levels, from beginner foundations through advanced Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, SharePoint, and Power BI, so each person starts where they are and every session uses your own files.
Combine workshops into a Microsoft Office skills program for new hires, a single department, or a whole team moving work into Microsoft 365.
