Boutique Presentations provides training on all aspects of PowerPoint, including slide layouts, adhering to style/brand guidelines, formatting presentations and creating bespoke templates from scratch.

Our training is different because it steers users away from elements such as clipart and WordArt, which often add to the 'tacky' and amateurish reputation of PowerPoint. Instead, it focuses on producing well laid-out slides - quickly and simply.

Each session raises the trainees’ level of PowerPoint expertise. They will learn how the programme works, understand the dos and don’ts, and discover basic graphic design tips and tricks that are easy to master and apply.

The benefits of the training to your organisation include the following:

• By using pre-designed styles and layouts, slides are created more quickly and efficiently.

• Working with a style guide encourages a consistent look across all presentations, enhancing and enforcing the brand image.

• All your presentations will look more professional and polished.

The following are just some examples of how training sessions could be structured. The course can also be completely tailored to your organisation’s templates, brand guidelines and presentation requirements – just contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Basic PowerPoint Training:

This training concentrates on the basic techniques used in PowerPoint. Users will learn the fundamental skills they need to create any professional presentation.

This includes the use of master slides, gridlines, alignment, text boxes, charts and tables. We also stress the importance of using templates.

By the end of this training, participants will have a good knowledge of the dos and don'ts of creating presentations. They will know how to structure and create a seamless, professional presentation within a template, and how to look for and correct basic mistakes.

Bespoke Training:

This next level of training uses your organisation’s existing templates and pre-designed style guides. Users will learn how to apply the style guides, as well as insert and edit library slides.

How to source and work with graphics and images, edit charts, tables and graphs, and prepare presentations for print are also covered in this course.

After the training, trainees will have a good knowledge of the organisation’s brand/style guidelines and template. They will know how to apply and adhere to these when working in PowerPoint, and will be much more confident when creating and formatting slides.

Advanced Training:

Boutique Presentation’s advanced training shows how to create bespoke presentations from scratch.

This course introduces the design of master slides, templates and style guides. It shows how to create colour charts, source and manipulate images and graphics.

Trainees will discover how to make PowerPoint ‘not look like Power-Point’ by creating highly effective, interactive presentations and creative effects. We also cover how to design presentations that are primarily for print.

By the end of this session, users will be confident in creating a presentation from scratch to match a brief. They will be able to work with logos, images and colour charts to create professional and creative templates. Participants will also have the techniques they need to create ‘stand out’ slides, diagrams and charts.
