Our take

Based on the ratings of 14,855 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in January 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a 6.2 hour PowerPoint course with 11 sections and 90 lectures. It starts with fundamental and advanced tools, moves to design principles, then finishes with a long case study that builds a company presentation from scratch. The pitch is the kind of formal business deck that banks and consulting firms produce. That makes it a good fit for students and junior staff, and a weaker one for anyone after video or morph transitions. About 58,000 students have taken it, and it was last updated in January 2026.

Reviewers like the pace and the practical feel. One corporate worker said even the basics review turned up features they had never used, and others call it clear and good at holding attention. One reviewer calls the instructor from 365 Careers extremely professional. The complaints cluster in the back half. Several say the final case study leans on PDFs or scripts instead of video, that some slides are missing, and that a Country Comparison slide is never taught. Others say it stops at basic techniques, with nothing on video or morph transitions.

The rating is 4.3 from 14,855 reviews, and nearly 13,000 of those are four or five stars. The requirements still list PowerPoint 2010 or 2013, so menus may look different in a current version. Beside a one-hour intro and a free beginner course, this is the longer, business-focused pick. We would point early-career office workers here. Skip it if you already build decks and want advanced techniques.

Best forStudents and early-career office staff who need clean, formal company decks, not video or morph effects.
Skip it ifYou want video, morph transitions or truly advanced PowerPoint techniques.

Pros

  • Moves from basic tools to advanced features and design principles in one 6.2 hour run
  • Reviewers call the pace nice and practical, with new features turning up even for experienced users
  • Final case study builds a full company deck, and one reviewer called it really good
  • Description lists over 200 pages of PDF support material plus a file of extra maps and shapes

Cons

  • Final case study leans on PDFs and scripts, with some videos and a Country Comparison slide missing
  • Stops at basic techniques, with no video or morph transitions and little truly advanced material
  • Requirements list PowerPoint 2010 or 2013, so menus may not match newer versions
I have some experience with Power Point. Even the review of basics brought out some features I have never used. This course goes at a nice pace, and provides very practical information.

Listed as All Levels, but it suits beginners and early-career staff best. No PowerPoint knowledge is required.

The first part of the course has good information on how to use PowerPoint for first time users (Must pay attention to which version of PowerPoint you have). On the other hand, the second part of the course is AN EXAMPLE of what is needed in a company presentation, WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LEARNING POWERPOINT AS A BIGINNER. Nevertheless, can be a good exercise making the presentation yourself. In the second part of the course there are a few mistakes in the order of the slides and the slide on COUNTRY COMPARISON is COMPLETELY missing from the course.

By Elijah Etoh on 11/29/2021

It was a good experience, gave me the opportunity to actually compare the difference between working on a Windows or a Mac Laptop as they differ. A lot more technical than I thought as we progressed. Really a Masterclass to becoming a professional using Powerpoint

Aprendi algo que nunca havia dado devida atencao

By Sylva Long on 11/8/2020

yes.......I have no idea about power point and he is hitting great points for begginers

By Shraddha Bhosale on 10/23/2020

Liked the concepts shared

By Макс Рыжиков on 10/22/2020

Excellent as always. However, it would be great if you added another whole practical example (similar to the last chapter) but related to proposing initiatives for participating in case-championships (or create a whole course dedicated to complete case-solving). I guess nowadays it is the most frequent type of presentations students will be deal with.

By Sabrina Warren on 10/20/2020

Very detailed and provided step by step visuals for me to keep up

By Subathira on 10/11/2020

Excellent and easy to understand

By Corne Hattingh on 10/10/2020

Half way through and the course has already thought me so much. I have already learned some many tricks and processes. This is truly a course worth taking. Thank you.
