CG PPT case studies
CG PPT · Put your knowledge to work in context.
CG PPT (Certified Graphics Professional – Presentation Proficiency Test) is a presentation-design credential aimed at people who build slide decks as part of their job: marketing and communications staff, instructional designers, consultants, trainers, and graphic professionals who want their slide work recognized alongside print and layout skills. The exam pairs knowledge questions with a hands-on presentation task, so it tests judgment as much as menu knowledge - whether you can plan for an audience, build a coherent visual system, and hand off a file that works on someone else's machine. The CG PPT case studies are 5 cases and about 3,846 words.
