PowerPoint Beginning: Create Presentations Efficiently

❝ Wonderful class! Tim couldn't be more helpful or knowledgeable - paid attention to everyone in the room and addressed everyone's need/questions. I would definitely recommend the class, but moreso the instructor. I myself will definitely attend more classes taught by Tim based on my previous experience with him!

More quotes from our PowerPoint students

  • Best training environment experience I have had in all my years of I.T.
    - student class evaluation
  • ...I was desperate. I needed to learn PowerPoint, Excel and brush up on Word. I took a two-day seminar at a well-known national computer training school and felt no more confident about my skills than before.
    I then found your website and after just one lesson with you, it was as if the clouds had parted! Your very concise and understandable teaching style, along with your small classroom size and hands-on approach was a very winning combination.
    Thank you again - I owe it all to you, and I would and will recommend your company to anyone.
    Warm regards,
    Linda
