(The Power of PowerPoint)

What's your takeaway from today's class? Did you learn anything today that you can't wait to try out immediately? Yes. It was an amazing session. I learnt how to use the PowerPoint suite effectively. Minimizing the texts in the presentation and making more use of graphics. This would not only make my presentation more attractive, it would also enhance my public speaking skill.

What's your takeaway from today's class? Did you learn anything today that you can't wait to try out immediately? I learnt how to link my table of content with the direct pages where the contents are. It is a knowledge I have been hoping to gain.  I equally gained the knowledge of how to set any font I want as a default. I learnt so many things that I didn't know counts. Thank you for this opportunity!

Training Testimonial: The instructor, Karen, was punctual and accommodating to people who arrived late. Karen's interactive teaching style ensured that everyone remained attentive. The hands-on nature of the class allowed me to learn helpful techniques for everyday use. Participating in this course provided me with insights into numerous shortcuts in MS Word and how to make my documents accessible to everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed the class!

What's your takeaway from today's class? Did you learn anything today that you can't wait to try out immediately? I learned a lot about reading order and how to make changes on Adobe. I am currently working on a Word document and tried out several things such as adding bookmarks, alt text and modifying the layout to make it more accessible. I will export it to PDF later and use the accessibility checker to see if I missed anything. I also took away a better understanding of colour contrast.

Training Testimonial: I learned a lot from Tyler. He was a clear communicator and explained things simply and without assuming people had previous knowledge. I was able to follow along and try things myself throughout the training. I now feel confident in my ability to make documents more accessible in PDF by using the accessibility checker tool as well as making changes in the original Word document.

What's your takeaway from today's class? Did you learn anything today that you can't wait to try out immediately?: Flash fill was something I didn't know existed and I think this will be very helpful for me. Also instead of using merge & center, to use center across selection - that was a good helpful tip. Selecting all sheets to make the same change across multiple sheets at the same time was something I learned new today that I am looking forward to using and saving time with.

.What's your takeaway from today's class? Did you learn anything today that you can't wait to try out immediately? : I learned a lot from Jan! I am looking most forward to using the sum/average calculations she taught us, as I work in finance and it will be amazing not to have to manually calculate totals anymore. I'm also excited to use the keyboard shortcuts to decrease the time it takes me to complete things in Excel.

Myself and a few colleagues took Excel training 1 with instructor Jan. The course was perfectly paced, and our instructor was very knowledgeable and taught us in a way that we could easily understand. I have taken courses for Excel previously, and had left them feeling less than confident in my Excel skills, but this one was thorough and easy to grasp. We had fun, and found it very interesting.

“I never knew before that there are so many simple formulas in excel that will make my life easier in working on my spreadsheet. I will definitely use the fx insert function button, Data remove duplicates, Paste Transpose, Text to columns. By simply clicking these buttons make the magic happen. It will lessen the opportunity for messing up my spreadsheet”

“I’m most excited to start using the quick functions more regularly rather than always being so slow working in excel. I generally do not work with accounting and budgets in excel but rather databases of people and their information, so having a faster way to work through the sheets will be great.”
