Concise, comprehensive, easy-to-follow, with enjoyable narration. This course is a role model for online learning. Difficult to imagine a better online course for learning PowerPoint 2016 for Mac.

This is a brilliant course. I needed to crash-learn Powerpoint in a week. I did it due to Guy's extremely clear detailed instructions. I enjoyed it, too.

This was a great course for someone with a lot of computer knowledge, especially Mac, and existing Word/Excel experience, but no real experience with PowerPoint. I learned a lot.

So far so good, I made a mistake at purchasing another course that did not give me what I need. This one is good so far

I realized that PowerPoint was a lot more powerful than I was aware of and that many of the tedious functions I am doing can be speeded up with Master slides

Clear, precise, no frills course. The only improvement I can see is when he makes a reference to a working file, it would be very helpful it he mentioned in which Chapter Folder the file is in.
