Well versed in the systems they are training. I came in with no knowledge of Camtasia and left feeling much more confident with the skills and tools I needed to create content, thanks to Mark. Would highly recommend Keystroke LearningPosted on Google![]()

I recommend absolutely everyone who needs training to come here. Mark and Brendan run incredible classes and the public courses are guaranteed to run even if you're the only one signed up. That's how I got some one-on-one Excel Advanced training this week. Mark was a fantastic teacher - very patient, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I've come away thinking Excel is COOL. The training facility is great, they keep it stocked with TimTams, tea and coffee, and there is a food court downstairs for lunch. I wouldn't go anywhere else! 😊Posted on Google![]()

Mark delivered a Power BI beginners course to our team, and he was absolutely fantastic! The content was engaging, and he adapted to the specific needs of the attendees. Mark was also incredibly easy to work with to organise this training. I would not hesitate to use Keystroke Learning again for our future training needs!Posted on Google![]()

I did the Excel Intermediate and Advanced training with Mark and I had a great experience. The course took a great holistic approach to covering the different aspects of Excel and Mark also took time to show how different elements of the program could be useful in my role specifically, spending longer on the parts of the program that were necessary for me. With a promise of lifetime support, giving me the ability to reach out at any point where I continue to be a bit stuck with Excel, I am very happy with my choice to train with Keystroke

Is Software Slowing Your Team Down?
Is your team turning simple tasks into complex rituals? You know, the kind where it takes 100’s of clicks just to format a document? You’re not alone in this digital circus.
Every day, countless organisations waste precious hours as employees wage epic battles against their own computers. The cost isn’t just time, it’s the frustrated sighs, the desk-tapping dance of impatience, and the endless coffee runs to escape that stubborn spreadsheet.
Meanwhile, your software’s amazing features sit unused, like that fancy gym membership you swore you’d use this year.
That’s where Keystroke Learning comes in. Think of us as your tech therapy team. We transform those “why won’t this work?!” moments into “wow, that was easy!” victories faster than you can say “have you tried turning it off and on again?”
Everyday Software Challenges Holding Your Team Back
- Wasting hours searching for how-to guides that don’t deliver results
- Low confidence when using tools like Excel, Teams, or Adobe Creative Cloud.
- Falling behind competitors due to outdated processes.
- Frustration with generic training that doesn’t address your unique needs.
- Remote Collaboration Chaos - Team members struggling to effectively use Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, or Articulate Storyline
40-50 Hours
Lost Annually
Takes 3-4x
Longer
- Research by Robert Half Technology found untrained Excel users take 4x longer for complex formulas.
- Microsoft’s own studies show trained users complete common tasks in 1/3 the time.
- Specific examples:
Untrained: 30 mins formatting a complex document
Trained: 8 mins using proper styles and templates
Impact on
Your Business
- 500+ hours lost annually to software inefficiency
- $45,000+ in hidden productivity costs
- 30-60 minutes wasted daily per person on email management alone

Brendon Farrell & Mark Finney
Co-Founders of Keystroke Learning and lead Facilitators
Picture your team dancing through spreadsheets with the grace of a swan, instead of stumbling like a penguin on roller skates.
Our training turns those “help me!” moments into “watch this!” triumphs. No more crying into keyboards or performing ritual sacrifices to the printer gods, just practical skills served with a side of laughs.
And unlike those YouTube tutorials that spend 20 minutes telling you their life story before showing you how to click a button, we get straight to the point. Because let’s face it, your time is better spent being productive than watching someone’s cat walk across their keyboard during a “how-to” video.
Boost Productivity
Who needs a superhero when you’ve got shortcuts? Our training turns you into the workplace equivalent of The Flash, zipping through tasks like a pro.
You’ll learn the best ways to work smarter, while your colleagues are still fumbling around with outdated methods.
Mastering productivity isn’t just helpful; it’s your secret weapon for impressing everyone at the next team meeting.
Achieve Confidence
Remember that time you tried using new software and accidentally created 500 blank documents? Yeah, we’ve all been there. But fear not! Our training will transform you into a software wizard, waving your metaphorical wand to tackle tasks with ease.
No more tech-induced panic attacks, just you, confidently conquering the digital universe like the pro you were meant to be.
Save Time
Time is precious, just ask anyone who’s waited in line for coffee during a morning rush. With our training, you’ll learn how to automate those mind-numbing, repetitive tasks that make your day drag.
Imagine turning hours of “copy paste repeat” into a few clicks, leaving you extra time to daydream about your next holiday or let’s be real, catch up on emails. Efficiency has never looked so good.

Chat Directly with a Course Instructor
Bypass the sales pitch and chat directly with one of our trainers, you know, the ones who actually teach all this techy stuff! No marketing speak or fancy jargon, just straight talk from someone who lives and breathes the course content.
They’ve likely answered every question under the sun and probably heard a few that made them scratch their heads too. Plus, they’re way more interested in talking about software and tech than trying to sell you something.
Who better to help you decide if a course is right for you than someone who’s seen firsthand how students progress from struggling with basic concepts to efficiently tackling complex challenges.

How many people can attend a training session?
We believe in keeping our class sizes just right, like a perfect coffee-to-milk ratio! Here’s what works best:
Our training sessions are structured to maximise learning effectiveness:
Small Group Training (Face-to-Face):
When we bring the training to your workplace, here’s how we keep things just right:

What does it mean when you say courses are "guaranteed to run"?
For our Melbourne courses, we believe in keeping our promises. When you book a course with us, it’s going to run, whether you’re flying solo or part of a full class. We don’t play the numbers game or cancel just because of low enrolment.
The only time we might need to reshuffle things is if something completely unexpected pops up (like a trainer testing positive to Covid on the day of the training and we can’t get a replacement), or if there’s some major external event beyond our control. If we ever need to change venues, we’ll give you plenty of notice.
What types of training do you provide?
We cater to all learning styles with:
- Face-to-Face Training: Traditional classroom or workplace sessions.
- Live Online Training: Interactive virtual classes with real-time Q&A.
- Self-Paced Assisted Learning: Study at your own speed with trainer support.
- Hybrid Learning: A mix of online and in-person sessions.
- One-on-One Training: Personalised sessions tailored just for you.
Can I customise the training for my team?
Absolutely! Whether you want a crash course on pivot tables or a deep dive into Adobe InDesign, we will tailor the content to fit your goals and team dynamics. Think of it as made-to-order training.
Still Scrolling? You Must Really Like Tech Facts!
Here are some quirky tech tidbits to brighten your day…
- The first computer mouse was made of wood and probably gave you splinters if you clicked too hard.
- The term “bug” in computer programming came from an actual moth that was found inside Harvard’s Mark II computer in 1947.
- The QWERTY keyboard layout was actually designed to slow typists down because early typewriters would jam if people typed too fast.
- The first computer password was created in 1961 at MIT. Rumor has it, it was “password123”.
- The first spam email was sent in 1978. We’ve been deleting them ever since.
- The most common password is still “123456”.
- About 90% of all Excel spreadsheets contain at least one formula error. Don’t worry, that’s why we’re here!
Remember, if you’ve read this far, you probably need more coffee… or maybe just some training! Get in touch with us, we promise our courses are more useful than these random facts.
