Everyday PowerPoint

Microsoft's family of Office applications are standard for businesses worldwide but they are equally handy at home. This family of classes will introduce you to the fundamentals of Excel, PowerPoint, and MSWord for practical use at home. For example, use of Excel for simple home budgets, PowerPoint for fun and interesting photo presentations, and MSWord for journaling! Bring your laptop to class.

Participants will either need have their own paid license of Microsoft 365™ or plan to use the online/cloud version of the applicable Microsoft™ tool by way of a Microsoft personal or work account. Please see the enrollment notes for details. 

For any of the ‘Everyday’ courses (Excel, PowerPoint, MSWord), students will need either:

• Their own paid license of Microsoft 365, or 
• Plan to use the online/cloud version of the applicable Microsoft tool

Both approaches require preparation. Please see below:
