Best Answer

Whatever editor you use, use another one that shows you the whole error message an not just the first line. This would have told you where the problems in your code are.

Two main problems

  • you cannot use a column outside a columns environment
  • you cannot use \vspace{3} without a unit, e.g. it should be \vspace{3pt} or whatever unit you had in mind when choosing 3

Other comments:

  • You don't need

    \usepackage{graphicx}, \usepackage{etoolbox}, \usepackage{enumerate}, \usepackage{color}

    Beamer loads all these packages for you

  • I don't have \usecolortheme{senac}. If this causes a problem, include a link where to find this file

  • only specify either the width or the height of an image, not both, this will distort the image in 99.9999 % of the cases.

  • most of your columns are too big, e.g. if you combine \begin{column}{.54\textwidth} and \begin{column}{.47\textwidth} this cannot fit on a frame without going into the margin

  • Why do you have \addtobeamertemplate{block begin}{}{\justifying} inside of itemize environments?
