Introduction: If you are someone new to PowerPoint 2007 or someone who is learning how to create a professional presentation, PowerPoint 2007 Training Package by Train Signal is exactly what you are looking for. Train Signal PowerPoint 2007 Training Package stands out by covering the best of both worlds: 1 - PowerPoint, 2 - Presentations.

Walkthrough: PowerPoint 2007 Training by Train Signal includes 4 DVDs - 2 training videos discs and 2 additional contents discs.

Figure 2: Software's Menu Interface To play the training videos, you will first need to install the TechSmith Screen Capture Codec. After the installation, the training starts off with a fairly long introduction on the author, Scenario-Based Training explanation and topics that will be covered in the training. And if you are a completely business guy without prior IT training, follow on with the Terminology and Commands walkthrough video. 
Figure 3: Course Topics explanation Unlike other common software training packages, you will find yourself filled with extensive presentations knowledge (Rhetoric and Design) before you can actually learn how to play around with PowerPoint 2007. My suggestion is to follow the training format strictly which will allow you to avoid the Death of PowerPoint effectively. 
Figure 4: Introduction to Design PowerPoint training starts off on Lesson 6, introducing you to the new features in PowerPoint 2007, navigating through the Ribbon interface and building templates. You will then be introduced to a scenario which will be applied throughout the remainder of the course, followed by working with SmartArt and Charts.

Figure 6: Scenario-Based Training Wrapping up Disc 1, the second disc of the training moves on to manipulating with Objects file (e.g. pdf, videos, etc) and creating tables. You will then be taught on how to prepare for your presentation using speaker notes, handouts, rehearsing timings and many more. Being a presentation-focused training, you will learn useful tips such as using speaker notes the right way and various opinions on distributing handouts.

What makes this training package effective is how well these two areas are blended together, providing what you will need to know at the right time rather than separating them as two different subjects. It offers a lot more than what a PowerPoint training course or package should. Whether you are learning how to use PowerPoint 2007, improving your presentation skills, or mastering advanced PowerPoint techniques, Train Signal has them all in one package. Back | Top |
