What folks are saying

Claire Price

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This course is excellent. The short video clips are really good, and kept me, as a viewer, far more engaged. The tips section was great, because it is one of the few courses that actually explains how to use the tools in PowerPoint. The only thing I would change is the length of the intro and outro music. It started to grate after a while. Overall, an excellent course. Thank you, Duncan!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It’s always a pleasure to watch you present how not to suck at powerpoints, and further to that how not to suck at make video content of your powerpoints/ teaching materials. I have made some of these changes you suggest and notice it has made a dramatic improvement in my presentations and the time it takes to make it. 
Thoroughly recommend this for anyone interested in improving their PPT skills.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The course was helpful overall with some new tips. The best thing is the whole module is divided into small parts, small duration, and is precise, and doesn't look overwhelming. The workshop is more impactful if you do activities alongside as well.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Engaging, fun, and really informative course. Not only discusses what makes up good powerpoint content and structure, but also has really helpful tutorials on PPT hacks that will save you a lot of time and make really professional presentations. Can't wait to put this into practise!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Duncan’s courses are composed of sections that contain short, engaging videos where he takes you directly to the point he wants to make. In this course, the tips and specific examples of how to simplify and provide data with meaning in presentations are just magnificent. I did not know some of the PPT tricks he mentions and I am thrilled to prepare a non-linear slide deck about my project now!.
