Google Docs FAQ
What level of Google Docs knowledge do I need to take your courses?
For our Introduction course, no previous experience needed! Whether you’re completely new to Google Docs or have been trying to figure it out on your own, our course starts from the basics. Our Intermediate course builds on your existing skills to take you to the next level.
How long are your Google Docs courses and what is the schedule?
Each of our Google Docs courses (both Google Docs Introduction and Google Docs Intermediate) runs for one full day, typically from 9am to 4pm. This focused format lets you learn and practice essential skills without being away from work too long.
How is the course structured? Will it be hands-on?
Roll up your sleeves – these are hands-on courses! While we’ll demonstrate features, you’ll spend most of your time actually working in Google Docs, creating, editing, and formatting a variety of documents.
Think of it like an art studio, we’ll show you the techniques, then you’ll practice using them yourself with expert guidance right there when you need it.
How can I collaborate with others in Google Docs?
To collaborate in Goolge Docs, click the “Share” button in the upper-right corner of your document.
You can then invite others via email, choosing their access level as “Viewer,” “Commenter,” or “Editor.” Collaboration allows multiple people to work on the same document simultaneously, making real-time changes and suggestions.
Can I convert Google Docs files to Microsoft Word format?
Yes, you can easily convert a Google Doc to a Word file. Go to File > Download and select Microsoft Word (.docx).
This will download a Word-compatible version of your document that you can share or edit in Microsoft Word.
What’s the difference between 'Suggesting' and 'Editing' modes in Google Docs?
In Editing mode, all changes are applied directly to the Google Doc. Suggesting mode, on the other hand, allows you to make recommendations that others can either accept or reject.
This feature is useful when working collaboratively in Google Docs, as it tracks proposed edits without making permanent changes.
Can I bring my own projects to the course?
Yes, While we follow a structured outline to ensure everyone learns the core skills, we’re happy to discuss your specific projects during breaks.
Plus, with our lifetime post-course support, you can get help when you’re working on your own designs back at work.
How does your Google Docs training differ from free online tutorials?
Online tutorials can be great for quick guidance in Google Docs but they don’t always go in-depth. Our training is designed to give you more than that.
You’ll receive immediate help whenever you’re stuck, learn best practices that truly make a difference, and discover Google Docs features you might not know exist. With us, you can ask questions specific to your needs and learn powerful time-saving techniques that will transform your workflow.
And perhaps the best part? You’ll have lifetime support after the course, a level of guidance you won’t find in any YouTube video.
Plus, our certified trainers make sure you build skills in Google Docs with confidence and clarity.
Do you offer any follow-up support after the course?
Absolutely, as you delve into Google Docs, a few surprise questions may pop up like toast in a toaster and we are happy to help by addressing those questions.
We provide lifetime post-course support via email, phone even Teams and Zoom.
Contact us for any questions that might arise as you start applying your new skills.
What course materials do you provide?
Manuals and Training Files
So that you won’t need to carry home a printed manual, all participants on our face-to-face courses receive a PDF copy of the course manual and associated training files.
However, a printed copy can be made available at an additional cost.
Participants also get a pen and A5 Notepad to scribble down all those lovely tips and tricks for later.
Manuals and Training Files
For courses delivered online, links to our course manuals and exercise files are made available to participants to download prior to training. If you forget to download the files, they will be available on the day.
Is the course curriculum up-to-date with the latest Google Docs features and best practices?
Absolutely! We continuously update our course content to match the latest Google Docs features and industry best practices.
Our trainers stay on top of new developments to ensure you’re learning current, relevant skills. Plus, we focus on techniques that work across different versions, so your skills stay valuable as the software evolves.
What is the cost of the course, and are there any additional fees?
Think of our courses like your favourite coffee order, they come in different sizes and varieties, and so do the prices! Want to know the exact price for a specific course? You’ll find it right on the course page and our Public Schedule Course Dates Course Dates page.
Each course has its own price tag, but here’s what you can count on: the price you see is the price you pay. No hidden fees jumping out to surprise you later (we save our surprises for making spreadsheets fun). Your course fee includes everything you need, training materials, resources, and unlimited “aha!” moments. You won’t need to raid the piggy bank for extras.

How does the cost compare to other Google Docs training options?
Our pricing is competitive, and we believe we offer the best value.
Our courses are led by expert trainers, who provide hands on experiences using content that is constantly kept up to date. We also offer lifetime post-course support, which most other providers don’t.
When comparing costs, it’s important to consider the overall package and long-term benefits, not just the price tag.
What is the policy for missed classes, cancellation or rescheduling?
We know that life often throws up the unexpected and so we offer as much flexibility on our courses as we commercially are able to.
However, when you book a place on a course, we can’t offer that place to someone else. Therefore, we need to put a limit on changes and cancellations.

How many people can attend a training session?

- Individual attention for each learner
- Beneficial group interactions
- A comfortable environment for questions and discussion
- For larger groups:

Can you customise the Google Docs course content for our company's needs?
You bet! If your team needs to learn specific features of Google Docs or create and edit particular types of documents, we’ll tailor the content to match your requirements.
We can incorporate your own templates and brand guidelines into the training, making it immediately relevant to your work.
This customisation ensures your team learns exactly what they need to be more productive.
Will I receive a certificate after completing the course?
Yes! Upon completing your training course, you’ll be eligible for a Certificate of Completion.
This certificate confirms your participation and the specific skills covered in your chosen course.
After successfully finishing the course, participants will receive a PDF Certificate of Completion via email, provided that we have received their details.
What is the return on investment (ROI) of taking the course?
The ROI of investing in Google Docs training can be significant. Many of our students report increased productivity, the ability to take on more complex tasks, and even career advancement after applying their new skills.
While it’s hard to put an exact figure on it, think about how much time you could save each week by becoming more efficient. Over a year, this can lead to substantial time and cost savings for you or your organisation.
Let’s use a one-day course, priced at $550 with a 6-hour duration, as an example. For a participant earning $40 per hour, the total investment, including opportunity cost, is $790 ($550 + $240).
If the course enables the participant to save just 10 minutes per workday, this translates to 41.67 hours saved annually in a typical work year of 250 workdays.
The value of time saved: 41.67 hours × $40/hour = $1,666.67 per year.
In this example, the course offers an impressive 211% ROI based on productivity gains alone. The participant’s investment breaks even in 108 workdays. Even with a modest estimate of 10 minutes saved per day, this return illustrates how the course has the potential to boost daily efficiency significantly.
Can you explain what 'closed course' means?
A closed course is a specific type of training arrangement. Let me explain what it typically means:
A closed course, also known as a private course, is:
- Exclusively arranged for a single organisation or group.
- Not open to the general public.
- Often customised to meet the specific needs of the client.
Key features of a closed course:
- Attendees are typically from the same company or organisation.
- The content can be tailored to address specific organisational needs or challenges.
- The schedule is often more flexible, arranged to suit the client’s preferred dates and times.
- Usually held at the client’s premises or at the Keystroke Learning’s training facility.
- The group size can be adjusted based on the organisation’s requirements.
- Confidentiality is maintained as sensitive company information can be discussed freely.
Closed courses are beneficial for organisations that want to train a group of employees together, ensure consistent skill development across a team, or the company.
