Microsoft PowerPoint Diploma for Executive Assistants
The training is conducted online using a live server. This means that the training programme will instruct you, provide assessments and correct your mistakes. This simulates having a personal IT trainer, the virtual tutor instructs, corrects, and offers examples. However, it has the benefits of online training, in that you can train when you chose from any place with an internet connection.
Dates and Duration
A maximum of six months is allowed. The course can be completed long before this time. It is possible to begin and complete the course at any time.
