In this e-learning you learn PowerPoint from basics to expert level: formatting slides, objects, charts, animations and collaboration. Optionally, you also work with Copilot in PowerPoint.

  • Full command of PowerPoint
  • Interactive lesson videos with assignments
  • Nine months of flexible access to the platform
  • Optionally working with Copilot in PowerPoint
  • Directly applicable in your daily work

With this e-learning you will master PowerPoint from A to Z: from your first slide to a polished presentation with animations, charts and video. You work at your own pace, wherever and whenever it suits you. Optionally, you can also get to know PowerPoint in combination with Copilot.

Description

In this e-learning course you work at your own pace through three modules that give you a full command of PowerPoint from start to finish. You begin with the basics of text, slides and simple formatting, and build up to advanced topics such as slide masters, SmartArt, charts, animations, transition effects and collaborating on presentations. Optionally, the course also covers PowerPoint in combination with Microsoft 365 Copilot, so you can see how AI can help you set up presentations.

The course consists of more than 100 lesson videos with accompanying assignments and additional dossiers. You have 9 months of access from the start and can stop at any time and continue later. Your progress is saved automatically. The course is followed entirely online, so PowerPoint does not need to be installed on your computer. You can log in at home, at work or on the move, as long as you have a laptop with an internet connection.

Also useful if you want to refresh your knowledge or demonstrate your skills to an employer.

Teaching method

You take this course entirely as e-learning. You work at your own pace through interactive video lessons, assignments and additional resources.

You have 9 months' access to the online platform and can stop at any time and continue later. Your progress is saved automatically. You can log in from anywhere with a laptop and an internet connection, without having to install any software.

Prior knowledge

You do not need any prior knowledge. Can you use a computer and do you have a laptop with internet? Then you can get started right away. The course starts with the basics and builds up gradually to advanced functions, so anyone can join.

Comments

You have 9 months' access to the e-learning platform from the start date. Each module takes approximately 6 to 7 hours. You work at your own pace and can stop in between and continue later; your progress is saved. The course optionally covers working with Copilot in PowerPoint.

In-company

Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.

Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.

    Frequently asked questions

    You have 9 months' access to the online learning platform from the moment you start the e-learning. The total duration is approximately 6 to 7 hours per module, spread over three modules with a total of 119 instructional videos and 119 assignments. You set your own pace and can pause at any time and continue later. Your progress is saved automatically.

    The bundle contains a total of 119 lesson videos and 119 assignments, spread over three modules. Module 1 has 33 videos and assignments plus 4 dossiers, module 2 has 44 videos and assignments with 6 dossiers, and module 3 contains 42 videos and assignments with 5 dossiers. Allow 6 to 7 hours per module.

    You do not need any prior knowledge of PowerPoint. The e-learning starts with the basics and builds up step by step to advanced and expert level. Basic experience with Windows and a computer is sufficient. You work at your own pace through 119 video lessons and assignments, only moving on once you have mastered the material. Suitable for beginners and for anyone wanting to refresh their knowledge.

    The e-learning is suitable for the most recent version of PowerPoint, including Microsoft 365. You do not need to install anything yourself, as the course runs entirely in the cloud. You log in via a website and can get started straight away, whether you are working at home or at the office. PowerPoint with Copilot is also covered optionally.

    Yes, you can interrupt the e-learning course at any time and continue later. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can pick up where you left off. Within the 9 months of access you decide your own pace and planning. Handy if you are taking the course alongside your job or want to complete it in short sessions.

    Yes, on completion of the e-learning you will receive a certificate of participation. You work through three modules with a total of 119 instructional videos and 119 assignments. For each topic you check via assignments whether you have mastered the material before you can continue. That way you can be sure your certificate really does cover the basic, advanced and expert knowledge of PowerPoint.

    This e-learning suits you if you want to learn flexibly, at your own pace and at your own moment. You get 9 months' access to 119 instructional videos and 119 assignments, divided over basics, advanced and expert. Each module takes about 6-7 hours, so allow for 18-21 hours in total. A classroom course is a better choice if you prefer live interaction with a trainer, want to ask direct questions about your own presentations or want to learn on a fixed course day. Choose the e-learning if you are happy to resolve individual questions yourself via the additional files, if your time is scarce and fragmented, or if several colleagues need to follow the same path. For large groups of migrating staff, a volume discount is possible.

    Yes, optionally. In addition to the standard PowerPoint functionality, the PowerPoint Basics + Advanced + Expert e-learning course also covers how to work with Microsoft 365 Copilot in PowerPoint. This is an additional component, not a compulsory module. Copilot is the AI assistant within PowerPoint that lets you have presentations set up on the basis of a prompt, rewrite slides, create summaries and request visual suggestions. You need a valid Microsoft 365 Copilot licence for this, either from your employer or through your own subscription, as Copilot is not included as standard in every Microsoft 365 package. The core of the bundle remains the 119 lesson videos and 119 assignments on PowerPoint itself. The Copilot component is intended for those who want to speed up their workflow with AI alongside the classic PowerPoint skills.

    This bundle offers a structured learning path from basics to expert level, with a total of 119 lesson videos, 119 assignments and 15 files with additional information. It differs from individual YouTube tutorials in three respects. One: the order builds up from the working environment to slide masters, animations and collaboration, so you don't skip over gaps in your knowledge. Two: after each topic you complete an assignment, and you can only move on once you have sufficiently mastered the previous section. That forces active application instead of passive viewing. Three: you have 9 months' access to the platform, so you can revisit topics as and when you need them in practice. YouTube is handy for one specific trick. This bundle is suitable if you want to master PowerPoint on a structural basis.

    This bundle suits you if you can work independently, enjoy learning at your own pace and have no need for classroom interaction. You get 119 video lessons and 119 assignments spread across three modules, with immediate feedback on your level after each assignment. You only move on once you have mastered the previous topic, which makes the structure more directive than simply watching individual videos. This format is less suitable if you find it difficult to plan your own study time, or if you have questions that require tailored explanation. In that case, a classroom or in-company course is a better choice. If you have 6 to 7 hours available per module and a laptop with an internet connection, you can start straight away and complete everything within 9 months.

    The bundle consists of three consecutive modules with a total of 119 lesson videos, 119 assignments and 15 files. You work from basics (working environment, text, slides) through advanced (objects, tables, SmartArt, slide masters) to expert level (charts, animations, collaboration, protection, templates). Microsoft help and the template gallery give individual answers to a specific question, but do not build a learning path. In this e-learning course you can only move on to the next topic once you have sufficiently mastered the assignment of the previous one, which makes gaps visible. You get 9 months' access and can revisit sections for as long as the licence runs. Choose help for an urgent problem. Choose this bundle if you want to grow structurally from beginner to advanced user.

    Attention to Microsoft 365 Copilot in PowerPoint is optional within this bundle. You will not receive a separate Copilot certification track, but you will get practical guidance on how to use Copilot alongside the standard PowerPoint features that are central to the three modules. Think of generating a first presentation based on a prompt, having slide layouts suggested and requesting summaries of existing presentations. You do need an active Microsoft 365 Copilot licence for this; without a licence you cannot take part in the Copilot elements. The core of the bundle remains mastering PowerPoint itself, from basic editing to charts, animations and collaborating on presentations. Copilot is an addition that you learn to use as an accelerator, not as a replacement for the underlying PowerPoint skills.
