Why PowerPoint?

Where finance and consulting work
actually gets decided.

Audit findings, deal recommendations, board updates and client pitches all live in PowerPoint, and the analyst who builds the deck shapes the decision. This subject takes a complete beginner from PowerPoint fundamentals through chart selection, chart construction, template design, interactivity and the mechanics of delivering it in the room.

See the learning outcomes

Beginner to advanced in one subject

Open PowerPoint for the first time in week one. Build interactive, brand‑consistent decks with custom charts and templates by the end. Skip ahead, jump in mid‑subject, or run it all top to bottom.

Chart selection and construction, in detail

Two dedicated courses on choosing the right chart and building it correctly, plus a workplace project on illustrating company performance for senior management.

Designed for stakeholder audiences

Every lesson lands in a finance or consulting context. Decks built for the kind of audience analysts actually present to: partners, clients, boards and senior management.

Credentials that stand up

Every milestone is independently accredited by CPD, CPE and NASBA, so what learners earn here counts towards continuing professional development.

Learning Outcomes

What learners will be able to do
by the end of the program.

Every outcome is mapped to a specific lesson and assessed through scenario‑based exercises. Learners walk away with practical PowerPoint skills they can apply on the next client deck, board pack or internal presentation.

Build a deck from scratch with confidence

Slides, text, shapes and tables, plus the customisation moves that turn a blank deck into something that actually looks intentional.

Essential PowerPoint

Add visuals that make the message land

Vary how and when you display data so the audience stays with you. The everyday visuals analysts reach for to make the analysis register.

Visual Storytelling

Pick the right chart for the message

Match each chart type to the question it answers. Stop using the same bar chart for everything, and stop confusing audiences with the wrong format.

Visual Storytelling

Construct charts that read clearly

Avoid the design habits that quietly sabotage presentations. Build charts that audiences read fast, and that hold up under partner‑level scrutiny.

Visual Storytelling

Customise templates that match the brand

Build templates with consistent design language, so every deck across the team looks like it came from the same firm. Faster decks, better readability, less rework.

Visual Storytelling

Add interactivity to hold attention

Subtle transitions, animations, audience participation and live camera feeds. The interactivity moves that keep an audience awake without veering into gimmicks.

Visual Storytelling

Design and deliver the presentation itself

Define audience, intent, structure and content, then present it confidently in PowerPoint with the presenter tools that maintain credibility from start to finish.

Presenting Data
The Curriculum

Nine courses and projects,
across three tracks.

PowerPoint is built as three tracks. Beginner essentials, then a deep visual storytelling track on charts and templates, and a closing pair on designing and delivering the presentation itself. Pick a single track or run the full subject end to end.

Bite‑sized lessons

Most lessons run 5–10 minutes. Designed to fit between meetings, not block out a Tuesday afternoon. The result: 80% completion vs. a 7% industry benchmark.

Modular and stackable

Every course slots into a wider learning path. Pair PowerPoint with Excel, Power BI, Data Literacy or Visualization Fundamentals as the team's needs grow.

Manager‑level visibility

Engagement and skill‑gain dashboards from day one. Leaders see exactly where capability is building and where it isn't, by team and by role.

Always current

Modules are refreshed continuously to reflect new tools, regulation and the rise of generative AI. You never pay for material that's gone stale.

Who is this subject designed for? +

Anyone in finance and consulting who builds and presents decks: audit, advisory, deals, FP&A, corporate finance and management consulting. The nine items are pitched at every level, from complete beginners through to advanced template customisation and presentation delivery. No prior PowerPoint experience required to start.

How much time does it take? +

Roughly 15 hours of content across 9 courses and a project, worth 10.0 CPE/CPD credits. Most learners complete the full subject in three to five weeks of casual study.

Do I need a PowerPoint background? +

No. Track 01 starts from PowerPoint Fundamentals. Analysts already comfortable with PowerPoint typically jump in at Chart Selection, Chart Construction or the Presenting Data track. The full subject runs end to end if a learner wants the complete picture.

Does this cover charts and data visualisation? +

Yes, in detail. Chart Selection covers picking the right chart for the message, Chart Construction covers building it correctly, and the workplace project on illustrating company performance pulls both together for a senior management audience.
