Note About Different Versions
Why Bring Your Own Laptop?
Personal Comfort and Efficiency
Working on your own laptop means you’ll be instantly familiar with your keyboard layout and system preferences. No need to spend 20 minutes figuring out why the volume button is launching the calculator instead. This familiarity allows you to focus entirely on learning new skills rather than wondering why someone set the desktop background to dancing hamsters.
Access to Your Complete Work Environment
Your laptop comes with your personal setup of applications, customised settings, and existing files. Think of it as bringing your digital home with you, minus the dirty dishes in the sink. This means you can immediately apply what you learn to your real work documents and seamlessly integrate new skills into your daily workflow.
Practical Setup
During the training, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds, your personal laptop connected to our professional training setup. Each workspace is equipped with a 27-inch monitor (perfect for those who squint at their phones even with reading glasses), full-size USB-A keyboard, and USB-A mouse.
Software Accessibility
With your own laptop, you’ll have immediate access to your licensed software and saved preferences. This is particularly important for applications where having your existing login credentials readily available ensures a smooth training experience. No need to remember that complex password you created after your third coffee of the day.
Don’t Have A Laptop?
No problem! We’ll provide a fully equipped laptop for your training session. Contact us in advance, and we’ll make sure you’re ready to go. We promise it won’t be running Windows XP – remember those days?
Bring Your Enthusiasm!
Brendon Farrell
Co-Founder / Facilitator
From my early days wrestling with DOS commands to navigating today’s cloud-based world, I’ve dedicated my career to demystifying technology for others.
As a certified Microsoft and eLearning specialist, there’s nothing I enjoy more than seeing that spark of understanding when a student masters a new skill.
Outside of the training room, my passions run deep, whether I’m spending quality time with my wife and son, sharing my four decade love of lacrosse with junior players as their coach, or cycling around Melbourne’s on either my road bike or mountain bike.
Mark Finney
Co-Founder / Facilitator
With a coffee in hand and a passion for problem solving in my heart, I’ve made it my mission to turn tech frustrations into success stories. Through years of hands-on experience, I understand the challenges learners face.
Being both a co-founder and trainer at Keystroke Learning lets me combine my love for teaching with creating innovative learning solutions that actually work in the real world.
When I step away from the keyboard, find me strumming my favorite tunes on guitar, relaxing with my wife watching movies on the couch, or tending to my garden.
