Similarly, using VBA, you can automate generating certificates and even emailing it to them, which has proven effective for conducting training workshops in organisations. Instead of a boring quizzing platform, the instructors can design their slides however they want, embed multimedia elements and share the file. The users can attempt it, and all the data gets saved in an Excel Sheet, certificates are generated and mailed! Surprisingly, these features are disabled by default in PowerPoint. Bhavesh Shaha has been creating video tutorials on YouTube since the age of 9, and has amassed 1.7 million views teaching PowerPoint Coding! Vani Agrawal has designed the PPTVBA template marketplace and created blog tutorials for the same.
