ICDL Advanced Presentation

It assesses advanced presentation skills rather than basic slide entry, covering how a presentation is planned and designed, how slides and reusable content are created and edited, how charts, tables and graphical objects are built and formatted, and how a slide show is prepared, delivered and output. Always check the current official syllabus for the definitive skill list.

We cannot state this reliably. The official pages we attempted to consult were unavailable, so question count and duration are recorded as unknown and flagged for review. Your Accredited Test Centre or the official ICDL syllabus will confirm the current structure and time allowance before you book.

The pass mark is not published in the material available to us, so we have not stated a figure. ICDL tests are typically scored automatically and results are reported through your test centre. Ask your centre for the current passing threshold for this module rather than relying on second-hand figures.

Retake rules are set by ICDL and administered locally, and we could not verify the current policy from the source material. Contact your Accredited Test Centre to ask about retake eligibility, waiting periods, and any additional fees before sitting the test so you know your options in advance.

Work through the four skill areas in order: planning and design first, then slide and content creation, then charts, tables and graphical objects, then slide show delivery and output. Practise each skill on real presentation files rather than reading only, and finish with timed full-length practice under exam-like conditions.

It is an advanced module, so it assumes you already use presentation software comfortably and can work without step-by-step guidance. Difficulty usually comes from breadth and precision rather than trick questions. Candidates who rehearse every syllabus skill hands-on, including chart and table formatting and slide show settings, generally find it manageable.

Typical causes are skipping less familiar features such as chart formatting, master and layout changes, or slide show and output settings, and rushing tasks that ask for a specific method rather than any acceptable result. Reading each task fully and checking the saved file before moving on prevents many avoidable losses.

You need regular hands-on access to a presentation application covering the syllabus features, since the test is practical. Many candidates use a desktop suite at work, school, or a library. Confirm with your test centre which software versions are used in the test so your practice environment matches the one you will face.
