Course Description
- 13,000+ Students have enrolled in my 13 Courses!
- The 4.65 Rating from student reviews shows the value packed in this course!
- Practicality: This course has a 250-slide PowerPoint Template and is a step-by-step guide to using PowerPoint & Excel together.
PowerPoint and Excel are 2 very different pieces of software, however, this does not mean you cannot use PowerPoint and Excel together. In fact, Management Consultants especially have great knowledge of how to use the 2 softwares to create stunning presentations which are automated, data-driven, beautifully designed and impressive to read. Mastering both PowerPoint and Excel and knowing how to work with both at the same time can be invaluable and that's exactly what I strive to present to you in this course.
What would it be like if each and every one of your PowerPoint presentations were stunning and impressed your attendees, co-workers, senior managers or investors without you saying a word yet?
How about transforming raw data from Excel and turning it into beautiful Charts & Graphs that impress and save you countless hours of work every month?
The "Stunning Presentation" Guarantee
Commit to take action and I GUARANTEE your Presentation skills will improve tremendously. If that's not the case, I will personally train you to achieve the results you desire. But more on the guarantee later…
The Secret
You might have wondered how Management Consultants and Investment Bankers always churn out PowerPoint presentations that look incredible. I mean, give them credit, once you see their decks you instantly think to yourself "This guy sure knows what he's talking about…"
How do they do it? Are they more clever than us? Do they have a talent for crafting presentations and manipulating spreadsheets that we simply don't possess?
No. They simply have more resources available to them & the necessary training to take advantage of them. In fact, I'll even share with you what they have and you might not:
- Company specific PowerPoint Templates - they don't have to break a sweat to create amazing looking slides.
- Knowledge about PowerPoint Design - they know how to manipulate those templates and make them work for them
- Knowledge about Excel Charts & Tables - they manipulate raw data in Excel and link it to PowerPoint effortlessly
- Specialised software - they use this to make their charts more interactive in PowerPoint and link them to Excel
So there you go. I've just laid out to you what you need to reach that level.
But imagine how much time & money you would save if you took this course and in little more than 3 hours get to that level…

I wanted to learn more specific stuff about graphs, how to create them and the easiest way to do them in order to avoid wasting time in decorating presentations. More examples and exercises are needed. I like the think cell section, but I would expect most of the people interested in the course are going to stick with Excel. At the end I would think you want to sell Think cell and it not the base of the course.

Even though I have used Excel and PPT for quite a while, I have definitely picked up new tools that I was unaware of. The only section that wasn't as valuable is Think-Cell - I will be unable to download that application - work for a large company and that is not an option.

Dragos sometimes goes too fast whipping through the material. Slowing down a bit would help. As recommended, I practiced on PP and X as he went along w/the lessons starting and stopping the course which definitely helped. Very knowledgeable instructor, easy to understand. The course was very well put together.

What is covered is really done well and the presenter is charismatic and enthusiastic. The templates are really useful, big thanks! Just one gap in my opinion in order to get to 5 stars - and to be classed as arguably the best ppt course out there - is how to show one record (=row of data) in an excel file onto more than one row in a powerpoint table. Here's the background: with excel storing so many columns of data, sometimes one wishes to present a record in a table in powerpoint but have to use more than one row in ppt in order to show a record. Can you kindly advise?

Great amount of content, 250 different slides included. Both a Powerpoint and Excel Design Course focused particulary on statistic/formal business presentations. Although I already have watched many PowerPoint Courses and Presentation and Graphic Design design courses it still was a nice summary and added great value and new valuable insights/small tips in clear manner.

This is a very good course for learning the basics of PowerPoint. It also benefits those who want learn to interface with Excel. I would say it is for good for beginners, but the focus is especially for persons employed and need to quickly get up to speed and make presentations right now. The instructor is detailed in his explanations, he is methodical and very passionate about his course .

The course was excellent! My goal was to see what this course had to offer with regards to Excel and SharePoint and see about easy ways to pull charts into SharePoint. Think-cell looks like a very useful tool, though most I can do within Excel, Think-cell makes it look easier and Dragos provided an excellent overview of Think-cell in this course. The overall material and pace of the course was good and I picked up a few tips along the way that I didn't have before. Thank you Dragos!

I have tried many other courses on various websites to learn PowerPoint but nothing was as good as this course. This course has a very brief and easy step by step explanations. Anyone who is looking to learn PowerPoint , this course is definitely the best I can recommend. Nik

This course is very well structured and managed to keep me engaged all the way to the end. I find that being extremely important, especially when doing the lectures after a full day at work. Also, the quality of information and presentation itself are at the same high standard, making it a great resource to refer back to as reference tool or knowledge refreshment.
By Francisco Innecco on 6/16/2015
I have always wondered how large corporations create such stunning presentations and brochures... And this course has helped me learn just that! I have discovered through this course a myriad of things I had no idea about! I'll certainly apply them to my future documents from now on.
