Advanced PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 is a hands-on course in using PowerPoint systematically, from slide masters and company templates, SmartArt, pictures and Excel-linked charts to Designer, Morph, advanced animation, video recording and presenting with Presenter View. It suits staff who present regularly, sales, marketing and HR teams, and anyone ready to move beyond basic slides.
Many presentations are still built as if PowerPoint were an overhead projector: slides full of text, every slide formatted by hand, and the whole file reworked whenever a colour or font has to change. That wastes time, leaves slides looking inconsistent and makes it hard for the audience to follow. PowerPoint in Microsoft 365 already has the tools to structure, design and deliver a presentation well, once you know how to use them properly.
This course takes a systematic approach. It starts with slide masters, layouts and company templates, building slides from headings and Word content, and working with SmartArt, shapes, pictures, tables and Excel-linked charts. It continues with Designer, Morph, advanced animation and interactive slides using Zoom and action buttons, then covers audio and video, recording a presentation as a video, rehearsing with Speaker Coach, presenting with Presenter View and in Teams, and collaborating on and protecting files. It closes with a workshop that produces a complete presentation. (3 days, 6 hours per day, 18 hours in total, Intermediate level.)
Course Details

It runs for 3 days, 6 hours per day (18 hours in total, 09:00-16:00), as lectures with a lab in every section, at Intermediate level. The content has been rewritten for PowerPoint in Microsoft 365, adding Designer, Morph, Zoom, recording with Cameo, Speaker Coach, live captions, the Accessibility Checker and collaboration on OneDrive.

Slide Master is the blueprint that sets the background, fonts, colours, placeholder positions and logo for every slide in a file, with separate layouts for title, section or picture slides. Change the slide master once and every slide using that layout follows, so you no longer format slide by slide, and you can save it as a template for the whole team. Open it from the View tab and choose Slide Master.
Connect a second screen or projector, turn on Presenter View on the Slide Show tab and choose which monitor shows the slides to the audience. You see your notes, the next slide and a timer on your own screen while the audience sees only the slides. If the screens are the wrong way round, use Swap Displays in Presenter View, and rehearse on the real setup before you present.
Copy the chart in Excel and paste it into PowerPoint with a paste option that links the data (Keep Source Formatting & Link Data or Use Destination Theme & Link Data). When the Excel data changes, select the chart and choose Refresh Data. Keep the Excel and PowerPoint files somewhere stable, such as the same OneDrive folder, because moving them can break the link, which you then repair under Edit Links to Files.
It suits staff and managers who build and deliver PowerPoint presentations regularly, sales, marketing, HR and training teams, the people who look after company templates, and students who already know basic PowerPoint. You should be comfortable with Windows, have built basic slides before, know Word and Excel at a basic level, and have a laptop with PowerPoint from Microsoft 365 or PowerPoint 2024 or later.
You will be able to build slide masters and templates for your team, organise content with SmartArt, shapes, pictures and Excel-linked charts, use Designer, Morph and advanced animation, build interactive slides with Zoom and action buttons, record a presentation as a video, rehearse with Speaker Coach, present with Presenter View and in Teams, and protect and export files in several formats. Participants who complete the training receive a Certificate of Completion with its own number, which can be verified online.
Yes. It can be run in-house for your team, with examples adapted to your own work, such as building a template in your corporate style or using your department's real presentations as exercises. You can request a quotation from this page, or contact us on LINE @itgenius or by phone on 02-570-8449.

Once you can build reports in Power BI, the next questions are usually about figures that do not exist in the data directly, such as profit per line, year-to-date sales, a comparison with last year or a product ranking. The answer is DAX (Data Analysis…
Many teams can already write DAX, yet they still meet measures that return wrong figures when a slicer changes, totals that do not match the sum of their rows, formulas so long that nobody dares to edit them, and reports that slow down as the data grows. The…
Preparing data in Excel often takes longer than the analysis itself: copying sales files from several branches together, trimming spaces and fixing dates column by column, or turning a report exported from another system into a proper table, and then doing it…
