Is this course for you?

Enhance your ability to communicate with your audience

Boost your CV with Microsoft PowerPoint skills that are Industry recognised, while exploring your use of PowerPoint to improve your presentation skills.

This course provides you with all of the necessary learning materials required to study from home, expanding on your foundation understanding of PowerPoint to that of more advanced presentation tools and ultimately preparing you to undertake the Microsoft Office Specialist PowerPoint Examination.

Microsoft Office Specialist certification proves to prospective employers that you have the necessary skills to perform key aspects of a given role, helping you stand out from the crowd.

The Microsoft Office Specialist: PowerPoint Associate Certification demonstrates competency to create, edit, and enhance presentations and slideshows. The exam covers the ability to create and manage presentations, insert and format shapes and slides, create slide content, apply transitions and animations and manage multiple presentations.

Presentation examples include professional-grade sales presentations, employee training, instructional materials, and kiosk slideshows. An individual earning this certification has approximately 150 hours of instruction and hands-on experience with the product, has proven competency at an industry associate-level and is ready to enter into the job market. They can demonstrate the correct application of the principal features of PowerPoint and can complete tasks independently
Required qualifications

- Transitions and configuring slides and presentations
The course materials consist of online materials, but with an allocated online tutor who will provide guidance on start-up and then accessible via email throughout the duration of your enrolment for troubleshooting queries.
Careers

You can study other MOS qualifications such as in Word, Excel, Access and Outlook and/or progress to that of a Microsoft Associate, but one thing that is clear is that Microsoft Office products are the most widely-used business productivity software worldwide, and that knowing Microsoft Office products will give you a leg up in the job hunt, as well as helping you be a better employee and co-worker with your new found knowledge.
Other important information

On successful completion of this unit, practice exam and certification exam, certification will then be awarded by Microsoft directly.

You will be a certified Microsoft Office Specialist in PowerPoint application. If students complete three of the four associated certifications, they become Microsoft Office Specialist, earning additional certification.
