Basic PowerPoint Training Course

Our Basic PowerPoint training course can be carried out in the following versions: 2010, 2013, 2016 and 365.

All of our courses are full day courses, typically running from 9:30am to 4pm with two coffee breaks and a lunch break throughout to break up the course. Timings can be slightly flexible though to fit in with your needs. We can also create a bespoke course to tailor the contents of the course to your needs. Just ask, we’d be happy to help.

MonoSol AF Limited – Helping train staff in Microsoft 365 packages

“We would highly recommend JPL IT Training. We have been using JPL IT Training for several years now and would not consider booking with anyone else.
John and Rachel are excellent trainers and the feedback from employees is always great. They have delivered Excel, Word and Access courses at all levels both face to face and remotely.
The sessions are always interactive and informative, and you leave them knowing much more than you did at the start. In group sessions they have the ability to adapt to each learner and ensure everyone gets the level of attention they need which is important as no one gets left behind”
