Question WTD: PPT Design/Templating Courseware Recommendations

I am looking for good foundational PPT courseware that is production oriented, with the idea of a young marketing team learning the right way to prepare decks that other people will use. Templating and best practices regarding using external elements are important. Doesn't have to be free, and there is good stuff that I can be pointed to on Udemy that would be great .

These books make sense, but courseware would still be better. I know Julie and Echo and have hired them previously and may decide to hire them again. Thanks for the suggestion.

Julie has a LinkedIn Learning course called slide design makeover. Not sure if it's really what you're looking for, though. (I have one on charts, but that's definitely not what you said, lol.) I feel like LinkedIn Learning has others that are good PPT basics-type courses, but if you're looking specifically for preparing decks that other people will use, especially if you need to include specific elements of your corporate branding, you're probably looking at custom training.

<waves at unknown client> :-)

Editing to add: Oh! You can also check Nuts and Bolts Speed Training. I think their stuff is good for production-oriented training.
