Slide EQ Training Courses
All of our courses were designed with consultants in mind, but can benefit anyone looking to improve their slide writing skills. Most trainings are delivered in small group sessions to maximize the interactions and activities between participants. The courses help you to practice slide writing fundamentals in real time so you're ready to apply what you've learned as soon as you complete the training.
If you have an international team, the courses can be taught online so your whole team can benefit.
*Due to COVID-19, all courses are currently being delivered online via Zoom
Our flagship: Slide EQ Plus (2-day course)
We've found that small group sessions, a high level of interaction and exercises, and personal tutoring help to better embed the skills we teach. That's why all of these elements are included in our flagship, Slide EQ Plus.
Slide EQ Plus is the starting point for most organisations.
It provides the foundation for writing slides and decks, including:
-
Charts
-
Text slides
-
Headlines
-
Storylining
The course is delivered in sessions of 6-8 participants so they can work on exercises in small teams, like a mini-consulting project.
Each section of the agenda uses examples from their own slides, so they can quickly see Slide EQ principles in practice and understand how they apply to their own work.
After the course, each participant receives a 1.5 hour one-to-one session to work on a deck of their choice.
Slide EQ Advanced (2-day course)
Slide EQ Crash Course (1-day course)
If you and your team are ready to go beyond slide writing fundamentals, Slide EQ Advanced goes more in-depth into:
-
Creating a deck from start to finish
-
Writing executive summaries
-
Summarizing decks to create senior level reports
Like Slide EQ Plus, the Advanced course is delivered in sessions of 6-8, with small teams working on a "project".
Typically only available to those who have completed Slide EQ Plus training.
At Slide EQ, we understand that some organisations are looking for less intensive training due to time and cost. We developed the crash course to cover the fundamentals in one day, with a focus on charts, text slides, and headlines.
The crash course is for groups of up to 20 people, but is still designed with multiple exercises and interaction between participants.
Fully Bespoke Training
If you like what you see but have something else in mind for your organisation, Slide EQ can potentially create a training course just for you.
Our bespoke courses typically cover more advanced slide writing and training for first-time consultants.
