PowerPoint Pro is the only course on the market at any price that helps you master PowerPoint specifically as it is used investment banking, private equity, and other finance roles.
Do a quick search online, and you’ll find endless “PowerPoint courses.”
But most of these courses are intended for people who want to draw cartoon characters or graphics designers making cat memes.
There’s nothing wrong with that, but if you’re targeting high-paying finance jobs, you need a course that focuses 100% on how to use PowerPoint in these competitive careers.
Our PowerPoint Pro course takes you from the basics of shapes, slides, and formatting up through automation via VBA and macros – and it gives you dozens of exercises and templates along the way.
To become truly proficient in PowerPoint, you need three key elements:
1 Plenty of practice exercises so you can “learn by doing.”
The only way to learn PowerPoint is to watch someone demonstrate the commands and shortcuts, try them yourself, check your work, and repeat the task until you’ve got it.
You can’t just “read” or “watch” your way into proficiency; you need repeated practice, especially when you’re learning the core topics: shapes, slides, alignment, distribution, and formatting.
In every lesson of the course within these “core topics,” we walk you through the shortcuts, show you a few examples, and then ask you to complete an exercise.
You then check your work against the solution in the video and the “finished” PowerPoint file and ask us directly if you have any questions.
2 Macros and automation tools to level up your productivity.
Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals of PowerPoint, it’s time to enter the “cheat codes” and get even faster with tools such as VBA and macros.
The full macro package in this course includes 25+ custom commands that will help you do everything from stacking shapes to copying and pasting table formats to distributing and fitting shapes to tables.
Plenty of companies would sell this macro package separately for $100 or $150 – but it’s yours for free after you sign up for this course.
The VBA lessons in the course show you how to build most of the package yourself.
But if you don’t want to learn VBA, no problem – because Module 5 of the course includes a dozen exercises that show you how to use these macros to create the key slides in a real-life pitch book more efficiently.
3 Real presentations from banks and editable templates.
Practice exercises, tools, and workflow automation are all nice, but they don’t mean anything unless you can use them to get results in real life.
With that in mind, we created a presentation database with links to 175+ real pitch books and slide decks from banks:
You get the entire presentation list, sorted by bank and industry, plus direct links to the most useful slides in each presentation.
And even better, you also get 50+ editable PowerPoint templates we created based on the most useful slides – so you can save even more time by starting with the right template.
Our PowerPoint Pro course is designed around these three critical topics.
Sure, there’s a lot of other stuff in the package: Bonus lessons on images and Word data, practice quizzes, graph and chart tutorials, and a certification quiz…
…but if you know the fundamentals and the automation tools, and you have dozens of templates and reference presentations, you’ll outperform on the job and get more free time.
Take a Look at What You’ll Get Immediately After Signing Up…
Module 1: PowerPoint Setup, Shapes, And Slides
In this first module of the course, you’ll get a crash course on how to set up PowerPoint properly with the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) and how to use the ribbon menu, Windows shortcuts, and key commands for alignment, distribution, and formatting.
You’ll also learn about copying and pasting shape formats, duplicating shapes, using default shapes, grouping and ordering shapes, setting up grides, rulers, and drawing guides, and using “Ninja Lines” to accomplish otherwise-impossible alignments.
If you have time for nothing else in this course, you can gain a big advantage in PowerPoint speed and efficiency simply by completing this first module.

Module 2: Text and Tables
In this module, you’ll learn about additional text formatting and navigation shortcuts and how to adjust features such as the line spacing, tab stops, and bullet points to create columns and separation within textboxes.
You’ll also learn how to insert and format tables, merge and split cells, distribute rows and columns, and use tables to make plain text look more interesting; the last lesson here presents an exercise involving Ninja Lines, tables, and shapes that requires proficiency with everything taught in this course so far.

You can often learn just as much from reading other students’ questions and our responses as you will from the lessons themselves!

We also cannot provide play-by-play support with an earpiece during interviews.
Finally, we cannot answer questions about topics not covered in the course, such as how to use Google Slides or how to create animations for jumping unicorns.
We’re happy to answer career-related, qualitative, and technical questions that are related to the course materials.
So, What’s Your Investment in the PowerPoint Pro Course?
To put this in context, let’s look at your Return on Investment in this course…
The pay for entry-level investment banking jobs varies from year to year, but it’s safe to say that even entry-level Analysts earn between $150,000 and $200,000 USD right out of university.
At the MBA level, that climbs to $250,000 to $450,000 USD – and as you progress, your total compensation only gets higher and higher, with top bankers earning 7 figures annually.
And every top banker had to start at the entry level and get their foot in the door, just like you today.
Compared with the potential upside, the enrollment fee for this course is nominal:
Your investment in the full PowerPoint Pro course (including ALL of the valuable content and training detailed above) is just $197.
Here’s how you can think of that course enrollment fee:
- If you tried to learn everything here by yourself instead, it would take you at least 50-60 hours – and you’d have no one to check your work or answer your questions. Even if you assume a rate of only $10 per hour, self-study would cost you at least $500 – $600 worth of time.
- Once you’re in investment banking, you might be working on a pitch book at 3 AM and suddenly realize that you don’t know how to fix a formatting problem…
Leave in that kind of error and you’ll hear all about it in your year-end review – it’s a competitive field, and everyone else is hyper-attentive to detail.
Bonus tiers for Analysts can be $5,000 to $10,000 USD apart – so simple formatting errors in your presentations could actually cost you $5,000 to $10,000.
Or, you could just sign up for PowerPoint Pro and prevent all that from happening.
By doing so, you:
- Save yourself potentially hours of time each day – worth $30,000+ at annual compensation of $150,000, or $40,000+ at yearly compensation of $200,000.
- Get training that would normally cost you at least $500 – $600 in opportunity cost, and likely far more than that.
- Avoid the key pitfalls that might cost you $5,000, $10,000, or more in lost earnings from your year-end bonus.
- And significantly improve your chances of winning jobs that pay $150,000 – $200,000 or more per year, even when you’re first starting out. That’s at least a ~760x return on investment, and possibly more like a ~1,000x ROI.
- There is simply no other way to get this level of training… this level of support, help, and troubleshooting on demand… this level of testing and practice… and this level of access to a community of thousands of peers…
