Before you start

No experience is needed. You should be able to use a mouse and keyboard and save files. You will need PowerPoint 2016 or a close version to practise. The course moves in three steps, basic, intermediate and advanced, so you can start at the level that fits you. Have a short deck of your own ready, as practising on real slides helps the skills stick. Try each animation on a test slide first.
