So I'll be starting a job as a junior designer within the coming week.. 80% of my time will be designing presentations, and 20% branding. Here lies my problem; I've only basic knowledge of Powerpoint and Keynote.
So to my question. Is there a place I can go to learn more about designing using these programs, ideally something that's free of cost? I know they aren't complex. I would just like to be as informed as I can before showing up my first day.
Any help would be appreciated! It might also be nice to have a small course or two over these programs, Tree House. Just a suggestion.

When it comes to learning a program, I usually would recommend them.
