I learnt some basic tools that will help me to produce Powerpoint presentations in a timely manner. I found it was easy to ask questions and found Julie super-helpful and very approachable! I really enjoyed the course and will take away some really useful tips to help me going forward. I really liked Julie and thought she was a fantastic trainer.
