FAQ

Equipment: your laptop, PowerPoint and ideally a mouse.

Windows: at least PowerPoint 2013
Mac: latest update of Office 365

Do you have your own presentation template? Then you can certainly use it during the course.

How long will the training take?

Because we want to commit to quality training, we are providing a full day or 2 half days. That way we can get started as a group and there will be time for Q&A.

Where does the training take place?

We currently hold open trainings in West & East Flanders at inspiring company locations that are very easily accessible.
In time, we will expand this to the rest of Flanders and Brussels.

There is the possibility to organize this training in-company throughout Belgium and the Netherlands.

Can the training be in-company, private or virtual?

Yes, you certainly can!

We apply somewhat different arrangements and there is the possibility to specify the training more closely to your own wishes and needs.

In-company: With in-company training, you opt for training together with your colleagues. You can opt for a general training, but it is also possible to tailor the training to your specific wishes, needs and daily practice. Corporate training takes place wherever you want: at your company or at an external location of your choice.

1-on-1: In this format, the trainer is completely at your disposal. You can opt for a general training, but it is also possible to tailor the training to your specific wishes, needs and daily practice. This way, we aim for maximum learning efficiency.

Virtual: Although we don't prefer it, virtual training is also possible. You can opt for general training, but it is also possible to tailor the training to your specific wishes, needs and daily practice.

What does this training not do?

In this course, we are not going to explain what each button/tab does within PowerPoint or how it works. There are enough basic courses for beginners.

We are going to teach you how to format functional slides by showing you which buttons within the tool you need for this and how to use them.
