Every business runs training sessions: inductions, compliance refreshers, new system rollouts, product updates. And every one of them starts the same way, with someone staring at a blank PowerPoint, copying paragraphs out of a policy and trying to make them fit on a slide.
Generic AI presentation tools help with the design, but they write from a prompt, not from your policy. What you need for training is a deck built from your procedures, structured like a lesson, with a way to check people understood it. This guide shows how to do that in Wikidoc in seven steps.
A company training presentation is a slide deck used to teach employees a skill, process or policy. It’s delivered live by a trainer or manager, in a room or on a video call, or shared for people to read in their own time. Typical examples are an induction session, a compliance refresher, a new procedure rollout, or a product update for the sales team.
What sets it apart from other decks is the goal. A sales deck persuades and a board deck reports; a training deck has to change what people do. So it’s judged on one thing: after the session, can people perform the task correctly?
A training deck isn’t a sales deck. The best ones share a structure:
Good training decks also follow a few design rules:
Wikidoc plans every training deck this way automatically.
Throughout this guide we’ll use a common small-business example: training front-of-house staff on the customer refund procedure. The source is a two-page Word document that covers who can approve refunds, refund limits, what to do when there’s no receipt, store credit versus cash refunds, and how to record each refund in the point-of-sale system. Mistakes here cost money and customers, so it’s exactly the kind of procedure worth training properly.
From Home, click + Create new and choose Documentation. On the Sources tab, add the material the training should be based on. In our example, that’s the Customer refund procedure Word document. You could also add the returns policy you show customers, or a recording of a manager explaining how they handle tricky refunds. Wikidoc accepts Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, audio and video files, up to 5 per document on Pro and Team.
Click Next.
On the Create tab, tick Slides. Tick Quiz as well to get multiple-choice questions covering every learning objective. Under Slides, choose:
Add Instructions to set the audience and tone, for example “For new front-of-house staff. Practical, with examples of real refund situations.” Then click Generate.
Wikidoc plans from your sources first. The Outline tab shows the plan the deck is built from, and each point shows which file, and which part of it, it came from. For the refund deck, you’d expect sections such as When we give refunds, Refund limits and approvals, No receipt? and Recording the refund, each linked to the paragraph of the procedure it came from. That’s how you know the training says what your policy says.
Open the Slides tab. The deck has a cover, the learning objectives, a section for each part of the outline, knowledge-check questions between sections, and a summary. Each slide has speaker notes. In the refund deck, you’d see the refund limits as a comparison table, the approval steps as a numbered process, a callout warning never to refund to a different card, and a knowledge check such as “A customer has no receipt and wants $120 back in cash. What do you do?”
Click Template, then Change template…. There are six: Training Session, Corporate Clean, Bold Geometric, Compliance / QMS, Dark Tech and Minimal. The slides are laid out again in the new style and keep your text. You can also pick the slide size: widescreen, standard or A4 landscape for printing.
Admins can set the default template for every new deck in the organisation, so all your training looks consistent.
Click Edit. Click any text to change it, or use Content to edit a slide as a form. Layout switches a slide to another arrangement, such as numbered steps instead of bullets, and brings the text with it. From the toolbar you can add text, images, shapes, icons, tables and charts, and blur or highlight part of a screenshot.
Before you finish, click Check deck. It finds text that doesn’t fit, colours that are hard to read, and the same layout used too many times in a row. On Pro and Team, Illustrations adds AI pictures to the cover and section slides in the template’s style.
Click Save Changes.
For self-paced training, convert the document into a training module: the slides and quiz go in together, with a passing score, certificates, and completion tracking when you assign it on the Team plan. You can also export it as SCORM 1.2 for another LMS.
Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, PowerPoint or Excel file, or a recording, and Wikidoc plans a lesson-structured deck from it, with learning objectives, a slide per topic, speaker notes, knowledge checks and a summary.
Yes. Export a .pptx that opens in PowerPoint or Keynote, with editable text, tables and charts, speaker notes, alt text, and the template’s background on the slide master. PDF and PNG exports are available too.
Choose from six templates, and Admins can set an organisation-wide default so every new deck starts with the same look. You can also edit any slide, add your own images, and export to PowerPoint to apply your own master.
General tools write from a prompt. Wikidoc writes from your own policies and recordings, shows which source each point came from, adds knowledge checks and a quiz, and turns the deck into tracked training.
Learning objectives, one idea per slide, real examples from your business, speaker notes, knowledge checks between sections, a summary and a final quiz. Wikidoc builds this structure automatically from your source documents.
Yes. The Free plan includes three slide decks and three quizzes. Try it from the free AI slide generator. Pro and Team have no limit.
