About the Course

Have you ever been assigned to give a presentation that consisted of statistics or charts? Did you ever feel overwhelmed or lost while preparing or explaining the data because you weren’t sure which numbers to focus on and how to make the information more appealing and concise for your audiences, predominantly those numerically illiterate?

The delegates will learn to utilise their minds to analyse data, and they will learn how to ignite their inner artistic talents to design a visually impressive masterpiece using several technological tools.

After mastering numbers and visuals, only one ingredient remains, and that is the delivery!
