Course Objective & Scope
Formatting proposals, reports, executive presentations and project schedules manually from scratch wastes hours and produces inconsistent outputs. This programme teaches how to use Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Project efficiently through reusable templates and built-in automation.
Styles, section breaks, automated tables of contents and track changes in Word; Slide Masters, visual hierarchy and Excel-linked charts in PowerPoint; and WBS hierarchies, task dependencies, critical path analysis, resource allocation and baseline tracking in Microsoft Project are practised on real corporate files. Participants leave with a ready-to-use template kit for their department.
