Skills demonstrated

Turning a written copy deck into a built presentation, with the layout each piece of copy asks for · Putting text into a slide's own placeholders rather than into boxes drawn over it, and knowing why that matters later · Setting a presentation up to a brand sheet somebody else wrote · Finding and fixing the defects a real copy deck arrives with — a heading nobody wrote, a name spelt several ways, copy that will not fit, a slide exported twice, a picture the copy calls for under a name no file carries · Placing and cropping photographs, including one that is the wrong shape · Carrying numbers in a table, and writing a speaker note that lets somebody else give the deck · Grouping a long deck into named sections and reading it back all at once · Handing a deck over in the format the person receiving it asked for · Checking a built deck against the copy deck it came from before sending it

What was built

A board deck you keep: sixteen slides built from a garden centre chain's own copy, in the sections that copy asks for, with the right layout on every slide and the words in each slide's own placeholders, three photographs placed, the one that is the wrong shape cropped rather than stretched, the costs in a table, a speaker note under every slide, one transition, and both a PDF for the pack and an editable copy for whoever has to present it.

The 6 sessions, and when each was completed on their own

Each session was completed twice: once with step-by-step guidance on one company’s data, then on a second company’s data from a brief, with guidance only when asked. Every check passed on both. Alongrail records the sessions, the checks and the dates; the dashboard itself is the learner’s own, hosted where they chose.
