More Information“There’s a good combination between giving information and practicing… that’s really well thought out and I didn’t feel like I wasted any time… It has made me faster. It’s a great course! I love the way Taylor walks you through the material. Thank you!”
Cindy Kalman
Presentation Designer Specialist
“I am so grateful to you both - everything you teach and highlight saves the day. Today, I had to churn
out a pitch presentation to a client that came in at 4 pm yesterday and we have just sent it out. Without the tools and updates you both showcase - I simply would not have been able to achieve this under the time pressure. I literally said to myself “Thank God for Taylor and Camille” and felt really pleased that I made the time limit. Thanks for being amazing teachers!”
Linda Hesse
Executive Assistant
“I use PPT for all of my consultant and valuation reports, so my reports are mostly text, graphics and Excel objects. I’ve found your course to be just terrific. My knowledge of PPT has greatly increased, my reports look a lot better and I really enjoy your teaching style.”
Michael Hamilton
Senior Vice President
“I tried your suggestion and it worked. Thanks Big time!!! This is the 3rd time you have bailed me out of a jam, and taught me some new methods. I really appreciate your help."
Mitch Sklar
Structural Engineer & Consultant
“As a result of the course, I am freed from having to choose between either using a poorly crafted, one-size fits all Corporate template or one of many well-worn, easily-recognized Microsoft templates for my presentations. [...] I don’t consider myself to be at all artistically creative, so imagine my delight when a co-worker asked, “Wow, where did you get that template?” I am absolutely amazed at the beautiful template that I was able to create in this course—and that just got me started. I have many more templates in mind.”
Christine Langley
HR Strategist
“I’m a consultant (formerly with Deloitte) and have found your training the BEST EVER – perfectly targeted towards consultants.”
Alexandra Griffin
MBA Candidate at The Wharton School
“I just wanted to send a quick note to say how amazing this webinars are… Anyone who uses PPT as much as I do, should have this be required coursework. Thanks for all you do and all you share.”
Heather Wilson
Manager Marketing Distribution and Design
“I can already see how with a little practice I'll be able to generate slides 10x faster than I was able to before...And make it more professionally looking at the same time. I've always been amazed by the stuff our consultants have been able to produce in such limited time. Soon, I'll be able to work without them! You guys rock!”
Pat Shah
Head of Content Acquisition, Strategy & Partnerships
"The material that you have is a life-saver. Although I have used PowerPoint all my working life, I have never ever looked at it this way and will never be the same again."
Himanshu Taranekar
Principal
“I work in corporate finance (debt and capital advisory, to be specific) and use powerpoint on a daily basis to prepare bank presentations and proposals. I learnt about your course through another PowerPoint course. To be frank, your course is much better: more entertaining and to the point.”

If you are using a Mac version of Microsoft Office, we encourage you to try the courses as they are and if you are not satisfied for whatever reason, email us within 30 days (within 6 months for the annual membership) and we will refund your payment.
