Our take

Based on the ratings of 24,935 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Andrew Pach's course is about design and templates more than a tour of the ribbon. Pach is a working designer who says he has finished more than 5,000 graphic projects, and the syllabus reflects that. Students build a 14-slide deck one slide at a time, then move into Slide Master templates, client-style projects, animation, charts, tables, Zoom and Morph. It runs about 10 hours across 167 lectures, and roughly 139,000 students have taken it since 2015. It's listed for all levels.

Reviewers mostly like the teaching. About 59 percent of the ratings are five stars, and about 2 percent are one or two. Students call Andrew clear, lively and obviously experienced, and they like moving from basics to advanced skills by following example projects, with short quizzes along the way. One reviewer advises downloading the resources and working alongside the video. The complaints are small. One person wished he would slow down, another found nothing usable for daily work, and one had video that kept stopping.

The course was last updated in September 2026, and the Copilot section was refreshed this year. That section is only six lectures and about ten minutes, so treat it as a primer. Mac users should note that PowerPoint 2011 for Mac lacks a few features. Next to the one-hour intro and the free beginner course in this category, it's the longer, design-focused option. If you want decks that look good and templates you can reuse, it's a solid pick. For a single quick task, it's too much.

Best forPeople who make client or work decks and want to learn Slide Master templates and slide design, not just menus.
Skip it ifYou want a quick intro or a fix for one task, since this runs over ten hours and leans on design.

Pros

  • Builds a 14-slide deck slide by slide, so students follow a real project
  • Slide Master lessons show how to brand templates for a company or client
  • Instructor praised as clear and lively, with quizzes and downloadable files
  • Updated September 2026, including a refreshed Copilot section

Cons

  • One reviewer wished the instructor would slow down a little
  • The Copilot section is only six lectures, about ten minutes
  • Over 10 hours, and one reviewer found little usable for daily work
very good and engaging. Very detailed, and I liked how it made us follow the process and steps, working with example scenarios and projects. The little quizzes were nice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: I'm a total beginner in PowerPoint, is this course right for me?

This course will teach you all the basics and advanced tools, but it's not PowerPoint 101 for beginners. I mention basic tools and techniques, but I assume you are computer savvy and know how to find your way around PowerPoint already. BUT! If you aren't then I have prepared a completely FREE PowerPoint basics course, which will equip you with the knowledge necessary to take this one. It's available on my profile under free courses. It's called PowerPoint for Beginners - Program & Animation Basics FREE

Q: I'm enrolled in your PowerPoint Masterclass - Presentation Design & Animation course. Should I get this one or is the other one enough? Which one is better?

Good Question! Both courses are top PowerPoint courses that teach you the knowledge and tools to create outstanding presentations, animations, and templates. They are just two different versions that use different slides and unique content respectively. The benefit of that is you can follow a different design path on each course. Students who finished the first master's course were asking me for more, and I'm happy to provide more if there is demand for it. If you already feel super comfortable with PowerPoint, one course is enough. But if you seek even more design ideas and slides, and if you like my content and the way I teach, you won't go wrong by taking both courses. Each of those two courses has several unique sections that allow them to expand their knowledge in their way.

Q: I've been using PowerPoint for 15+ years and think I know it already. Will I learn anything new? 

I'm an experienced PowerPoint instructor with over 250 YouTube tutorials and more than 10 published PowerPoint courses and series. Over the past few years, I have learned from both beginner and advanced students which areas to address to best influence your workflow in a positive and impactful way. My courses help you to boost your efficiency, using shortcuts and on-trend designs to help you reach a modern, top-level standard of quality. If you need something that is not already in the course, you can always ask me about topics to add to courses that interest you. 

Q: I'm still not sure if I want to invest in this course. I don't know if I want to focus on design or animation. Is there any fall-back plan?

Of course! First, you should watch the promo videos and watch the free preview lessons. They will give you a good understanding of the course content, pace, and what to expect from taking the course. Apart from that, you have Udemy’s 30-day Money Back Guarantee with no questions asked!

Instructor Details

Andrew Pach

Hi! My name is Andrzej Pach (but Andrew is easier to say ^^) and I spend my daily time with graphic design, presentations, motion & animation, typography, video editing, and online teaching. Most of my work is done in Adobe After Effects & Microsoft PowerPoint 2019 / 2021 / 365 and Camtasia so naturally, this is the software I want to teach about and share my experience with. I have completed more than 5000 graphic projects for clients, mostly including video animations like intros, outros, and transitions for various YouTube channels & marketers. On Fiverr alone (a freelancing website), I have more than 3500 reviews and 4k+ finished jobs. I would like to share with you the knowledge that I was able to "stack up" during the process. I am always willing to help people out by enhancing their brands and projects. 

  Who am I? 

I'm born in 1989, live in a small village in Poland, and graduated from my University in July 2014. A few years back, when I tried to find my "place" after getting hired to prepare a website, flyer, and business card for a local business in my area, I finally "felt it". Since then (2011) I have expanded my skills in this area by completing various graphic, website, and design-related projects. Places like the Warrior Forum, freelancing websites, and graphic contests across the web caught my interest and never let me go. I run my own company since April 2015.

The teacher is really a great driver of attention, my attention is captured thanks to your very skillfull practical way of teaching.

By Jenisha Johnbosco on 2/16/2026

I didn't watch the full video I don't have that much patience to watch the full video anyway if a growing kid who is interested to grow their skill watches this video their skill will be developed that can be assured. Thank you for these sessions

By Spurlos on 1/30/2026

Overall, the course is quite good, except for a lot of repetitive information and a somewhat unclear lesson sequence. There’s a bit of chaos in the structure. The same content could have been delivered in a much more concise format — around 6–7 hours — without losing any value.

By Chelsy Oghenevirieze Blessedean on 1/14/2026

It was a very good course for me, infact it fuelled my love for powerpoint designing moreee. Thank you

By Venkata Krishnamraju Chintalapati on 12/13/2025

I am really thrilled to take this course. I was developing PPTs mostly from 8 years or so. After having this session, now I am feeling very bad that why didn't I take this earlier. It could have been saved me a lot of time. Very good tips with real time examples.

By Anna Nowak on 12/9/2025
