You seem to have a very good range of products that can greatly help me. To be honest I am actually quite surprised on what I have seen on the site.

However, I have a concern about buying products such as these based on some previous bad experience. I once obtained training materials which were claimed to be in DOC or PPT. I assumed that they were normal files and I could edit them as I wished. But somehow when I got these files, I could not do anything other than view the content. The whole thing was locked, I don't even know how this was possible.

They claimed that I got what they advertised which was DOC and PPT file. So before purchasing any of your products I want to make sure that I can edit your files anyway I wish like a normal DOC or PPT file. Is this possible? Can I add my own content to the slide or remove stuff out of it. Is this allowed?

Please advise.

Welcome to the site. Sorry to hear about your bad experience.

Indeed I can assure you that we provide completely editable PPT and DOC files. You can easily modify them like ordinary DOC/PPT files and in addition we provide a flexible license that allows you to easily add your own content or remove ours based on your training requirement. We believe that the easier it is for you to use the content, the more you can get out of it and train others.

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks for clarifying this. This sounds quite good. I will go ahead with my selection and probably purchase later this week.

Hi everybody!

I`m a trainer & coach, working in a non-english spoken country within European Union. We do this business together with my partner Jasna (she would be Claire in English, and French ).

Some time ago I have come over this site and its materials. It seemed professional so we have decided to try some materials. The reason was the assurance that we can edit them. You can imagine that it`s importan to us we can translate and adapt them.

We have bought Presentation skills as we do a lot of this trainings of our own. The materials are really editable and also professional.

There is just one problem if you want to edit the materials as we need to. Some slides in the PPT and the pictures in the workbooks are not editable, as they are put there as "pictures". When you do this courses in English, that`s not a problem, as the materials are in English. But we have to do them in our language, so we would need to adapt those pictures, too.

Otherwise I must just say that we are happy to have found this materials, and we will be using them in the future.

Best regards, Alex

Mars Venus, welcome to the site and thanks for your post.

We are glad to know that you have found our products flexible and suitable for your needs.

As for your query about the images used in the training materials, some of the illustrations are designed in Office. For best results, these diagrams are designed in PowerPoint and also included in the workbooks. To reduce compatibility issues, it is sometimes necessary to paste them as image in the workbook. This makes it easier for printing and also better image management.

In any case, you always have access to the source of the composite illustration in the PowerPoint file which you can then use if you want to edit the content in line with our terms and conditions.

Hope this answers your question.
