MOS PowerPoint 2016 Essentials Course

The MOS PowerPoint 2016 Essentials Online Course is designed for students who are interested in gaining a broad knowledge of the PowerPoint application and for experienced PowerPoint users who wish to undertake a refresher course.

The course follows the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) syllabus and is the ideal study guide for those wishing to gain the industry-recognised MOS certification. Wherever possible, we follow the "learn-by-example” methodology during the course, which means that we investigate a topic, provide an example, and then ask you to try it yourself before moving forward.

Proficiency in Microsoft Office products, is increasingly important in today’s competitive business environment and, whether you are currently employed or a job seeker, Microsoft Office Specialist certification proves to employers and prospective employers that you have the necessary skills to become an important member of their team.

The MOS PowerPoint 2016 Essentials course teaches all you need to know about the major components of the PowerPoint 2016 application and is presented in a modern multimedia online format, with the constant support and guidance of your designated course tutor, who is there for you every step of the way. The course also contains valuable tips on preparing for the MOS examination and includes free access to the GMetrix range of MOS exam practice questions, which have the same format as the MOS exam itself.

Based on the proven "learn by example” principle which, as the name implies, provides real-world examples to illustrate a particular topic or technique, the courses are delivered through our on-line training portal via a standard web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or Safari. The lesson notes are delivered through slides giving you the required information to work through each lesson and there are student files you will download to work on so you are putting into practice what you are learning. You will also be supported by a personal tutor who is available to provide feedback on your work at any time throughout the period of study.

The course also comes with GMetrix exam preparation software. The GMetrix Skills Management System provides everything you need to prepare for the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Certification.
