Course Description

Learn Keynote FAST

Do you want to learn how to make great presentations using Keynote but dread the thought of going through a 4 hour course that goes over every button and menu item in excruciating detail?

***Keynote Version 6.5.3 is used throughout this course***

If so, this course is for you.

In this course you'll learn all of the basics required to make great Keynote slides, including:

  • slide creation
  • theme selection
  • formatting text and images
  • transitions and animations
  • adding video and audio
  • recording slideshows
  • tables and charts
  • exporting presentations in multiple formats

I've spent 10 years as a professional trainer and I know the teaching methods that work. The course has no fluff and no padding. It's a quick, no-nonsense approach to learning the Keynote functions you really need to make great presentations.

You'll learn one simple concept at a time in bite-sized chunks. That's the quickest way to learn software programs.

Here's a comment from one of the students in my other Udemy courses:

Really great way to get started. I really love the short and sweet sections of this course. The author has a really great voice to listen to, that combined with the short to the point lectures really made it a breeze for me to finish it really fast.

I'll also stay with you every step of the way by responding very quickly to questions asked the discussion section of the course.

Go ahead and take Learn Keynote FAST!
